Libertango is a bright and expressive white wine that celebrates the freedom of natural winemaking. Grown in the rugged Alt-Empordà region of Catalonia, this field blend of Chenin Blanc, Macabeo, Parellada, and White Grenache offers a lively interplay of citrusy freshness and gentle floral notes. Hand-destemmed grapes see a short maceration, bringing out extra aromatic depth before fermenting in traditional amphora. Six months of aging in oak barrels lend a subtle roundness to its spirited acidity. Created by Vinyes Tortuga, who live among their vines and farm holistically, Libertango captures both a sense of place and an adventurous spirit in every sip.
Pitchounet from Domaine Mouressipe is a natural red wine crafted by Alain Allier in the Languedoc region, France. Pitchounet is a 50/50 blend of Cinsault and Grenache. It’s light-bodied, juicy, with notes of red berries, a touch of pepper, and a freshness that makes it perfect for warm weather. Its vibrant ruby color and natural freshness make it a delightful alternative for those who prefer something livelier than rosé during warm weather. Perfect for casual drinking, Pitchounet is all about immediate pleasure and genuine fruitiness.
Caviste
Blanquizal is a dry white wine that shows a different face of Pedro Ximénez. Instead of richness, it focuses on freshness, texture and a clear sense of place. The grapes come from 25-year-old vines in Moriles Altos, planted on very calcareous albariza soil, known for holding moisture in this hot part of Andalucía. Fermentation and ageing take place in used Montilla casks, and the wine spends 16 months under flor. This gives it gentle notes of yeast and pastry, together with white flowers and citrus. On the palate it is fresh, light on its feet and distinctly saline. It is an original white for anyone who wants to discover how lively and precise Pedro Ximénez can be outside the usual sweet styles.
