Arrayán Albillo Real Méntrida

Ref. 00170116

Back in stock: approx. March 2019 -

Produced in Almorox, Toledo, this is a pure albillo real white fermented in oak. This substantial, modern white represents yet another success of female winemaker Maite Sánchez in the winery’s efforts to recover grape varieties historically grown locally. Albillo real was traditionally added as a complement in the production of red wines or directly consumed as table grapes. Remarkably elegant, unctuous, fresh and expressive, with a delicate presence of white fruit, citrus fruit, and wild herb aromas, a touch of fennel, floral reminiscence and the subtle, spicy presence of oak.

Winemaking: Arrayán Albillo Real is produced with the fruit from an old, 2ha vineyard with vines over 60 years old, sandy soils of granite origin and about 600 meters of altitude in the Toledo town of Almorox, an area with few vineyards of white varieties. Albillo real is an early grape that ripens at the beginning of August and naturally offers low yields. It is processed by treading whole clusters in small tanks. Subsequently it is cold macerated for one day, it is pressed and fermented in 500 and 300 litre casks and aged in French oak barrels for 7 months.
