Te Quiero White Field Blend

Winemaker deAlto Rioja y Más on the winery

“We are deAlto Rioja y Más, a winemaking project dedicated to showcasing the diversity and potential of Spanish wine regions. We work with vineyards in areas including La Mancha, where traditional viticulture and old, local grape varieties play an important role. We believe that lesser-known grapes and historic vineyard plots have a great deal to offer. That is why we combine modern winemaking knowledge with respect for established traditions. Our wines invite people to discover the character of Spain: authentic, versatile and made with care for both the vineyards and the natural environment.”

And on La Mancha, Spain

“Our Te Quiero White Field Blend comes from La Mancha, on Spain’s elevated central plateau, where the organically farmed vineyards lie at around 750 metres above sea level. The contrast between warm days and cool nights helps the grapes retain their aromas and fresh acidity. For this wine, we bring together Airén, Verdejo, Moscatel, Albillo and Malvasía. Some of these grapes grow on older, traditionally bush-trained vines. They are harvested and processed together, following the classic field blend approach. We ferment the wine at cool temperatures and then leave it on its fine lees to develop additional texture. The result is a lively, aromatic white wine with citrus, green apple and grapefruit, complemented by floral notes.”
