The only white produced here, the 2016 Cullerot is a regional wine, as they use grapes from different parts of the region; currently, they have agreements with seven growers that total 15 hectares planted with five different local varieties. The zone saw no more than 200 liters of rain in the 2016 season and moderate temperatures, which resulted in lower alcohol and higher acidity. The final breakdown is something like 20% each Pedro Ximénez and Macabeo and 10% each Malvasía, Tortosina, Verdil, Merseguera, Chardonnay and others. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, with the final fermentation happening in 2,600-liter buried terra-cotta amphorae, where the wine matured for six months. They have improved the quality and diversity of the vineyards they use for this wine, as there are more old vineyards planted with whites than with reds. It has a subtle nose with some incipient complexity, balsamic herbs and something earthy with a dry and focused palate and a tasty finish. It keeps very good freshness. The old vines seem to have resisted nicely the drought of the 2016 vintage. They have improved quantity and quality. 50,000 bottles were filled in April 2017.

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.
