Mesta - Blanco Verdejo 2023
Castilla | white, dry |
A fantastic light white wine for everyday enjoyment. Our top pick for value!
When you're looking for a delicious wine for a laid-back occasion, this Verdejo is a hot option. It pleases almost everyone - it's refreshing, light, and right amount of dry. It bursts with fresh flavors and interesting scents of white peach and green melon. But also has a delightful mineral finish! It comes from vineyards in the Uclés region near Madrid, situated at high altitudes that preserve the wine's lightness and freshness even in the scorching heart of Castilla. Don't wait a second and give it a shot, you'll be amazed!
A group from the Pyrenean Peninsula made up of growers, winemakers, and Masters of Wine, who all share a vision for authentic and sustainable winemaking in Spain. Most of their wines come from Castilla, which is in central Spain, but they’re sourced from vineyards situated at high altitudes on limestone and sandy clay soils, and they follow organic farming practices. What matters most to them is the character and purity of their wines, and they place a strong emphasis on the ecological aspect of their work.
Years ago, they were founding members of the “Wineries for Climate Protection” association, which aims to focus on renewable resources and reduce energy and water consumption, waste production, and CO2 emissions. One of the main faces of the Peninsula, Sam Harrop MW, co-authored the book “Authentic Wine” with wine expert Jamie Goode, which still serves as an introduction to the world of chemical-free wines for many organic and natural winemakers today.
