Antina Sauvignon Blanc from Casa del Valle in Spain is an easy drinking white wine with melon and white pepper notes and a creamy texture. It is superb value for money and shows how Spain can produce lovely white wines from international varietals.
Casa Del Valle in La Mancha boasts an entirely new winery. The bodega is owned by a group of Riojan growers who between them have 3 decades of winemaking experience in Rioja, strong financial backing and the most advanced modern technology. The bodega is surrounded by 100 hectares of new vineyards growing the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah varieties, chosen for their great suitability for ageing and their well defined character.
Vinification
The grapes are carefully selected at optimum maturity and vinified using selected yeasts and low temperature fermentation. A prolonged period on its finest lees gives it roundness and smoothness.
Viticulture
The vines are grown in the Caliza Franco Arenosa soils of Castilla de la Mancha located around the village of Yepes, in the province of Toledo. They are trained using the Double Cordon Royat system and pruning is carried out by hand.
Tasting Note
Antina Sauvignon Blanc has a fresh and fragrant wine with aromas reminiscent of white flowers and flint.
