Who makes it?

Back in the 1500s, the Nekeas Valley was the place to be for Spanish viticulture, but by the mid-20th century, industrialization almost turned this winemaking mecca into a ghost town. Thankfully, the descendants of the original farming families decided that "office jobs" were overrated, returning in the 1990s to reclaim their liquid heritage. Today, these resilient vintners navigate the valley's "choose your own adventure" geography—a dizzying maze of slopes facing every possible compass point. It’s a labor of love led by people who clearly aren't afraid of heights or a little hard work, proving that while you can take the family out of the vineyard, you can’t take the Garnacha out of the family.
How is it made?

Crafted from White Garnacha (Garnacha Blanca) grown at a lung-stretching 500 meters above sea level, this wine is a product of sheer geological drama. The vines cling to 15° slopes where irrigation is a myth, forcing the roots to dig deep into clay-loamy soil and sandstone for every drop of character. This specific bottling captures a unique microclimate where Mediterranean sun meets cool mountain air. The winemaking process is a pursuit of bottled time, focusing on precision harvesting to lock in the "grass-flower-fruit" trinity before the grapes lose their cool. The result is a high-altitude white that spent just enough time in the cellar to emerge bulky, complex, and ready for its close-up.
What does it taste like?

Pour a glass and you’ll find pale golden nuances that look like bottled Spanish sunshine, minus the sunburn. On the nose, it’s a fragrant trip through a Mediterranean scrubland, featuring rockrose, zesty citrus, and subtle hints of "white floor" (think clean, mineral elegance, not literal tile). The palate is a delightful contradiction: it’s as fresh as a mountain breeze yet has enough "bulk" to feel like a silk sheet for your tongue. With a lingering, complex aftertaste that refuses to leave the party early, it’s sophisticated enough to pair with fleshy shellfish or a rich fish stew, but honestly, it’s complex enough to be its own plus-one.
