The 2022 Las Bairetas is a dry white produced with Moscatel grapes from a vineyard planted in 1994 in the village of Chiva on red clay soils at 300 meters in altitude, and one hectare is head-pruned. They went for a skin-contact white with a maceration time of 20 days, then it went through malolactic and matured in tinaja for six months. It has a bright yellow color and a nose that combines the varietal notes of orange blossom and peel with earthier hints and the yellow fruit from the skin contact. The palate is medium-bodied, with 12.6% alcohol, mellow acidity and a dry, chalky finish. 3,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023. ... More details

Winery
• 100% Moscatel de Alejandria. • Organically-farmed from the red clay soils of the Sierra de Chiva. • The grapes are vatted and foot-trodden over 10-15 days in stone lagares. • This is followed by de-stemming and a brief period of additional skin maceration. • Fermentation proceeds spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and the resulting wine is left in tank to decant naturally.

Varietal: Muscat

Muscat varietal grapes are surely one of the most versatile wine grapes in the world. In dozens of countries across Europe and the New World, they are used for the production of everything from fine, fruity dry wines, to elegant sparkling examples and even dense, aromatic fortified wines of exceptional character and flavor It is a favorite with winemakers and vintners worldwide as a result of its hardiness and the high yields the vines routinely produce, and grows in a wide range of terroirs and climatic conditions. Such conditions have a considerable effect on the grapes themselves, which is part of the reason why Muscat wines are so varied when it comes to flavor, aroma and characteristics. Generally, Muscat wines are recognizable as a result of their strong, fresh and distinctly 'grapey' flavor, making them popular with those looking for a simple yet elegant wine easily paired with many different foods.

Country: Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
