Castillo Airen Sauvignon Blanc

  • Castillo Airen Sauvignon Blanc
Literally meaning "the most wanted", Vinos Mas Buscados is a collection of wines grown and nurtured in the Southern half of Spain, mainly in the area known as La Mancha. Inspired by Spain's largely untapped fine wine resources, two friends, colleagues and Masters of Wine, Fergal Tynan and Giles Cooke set off on a journey to find the unsung heroes of Spain, be they regions, growers or winemakers. Fergal's interest in wine terroirs and Giles' instincts for flavour, led them to unearth great Spanish wines whose stories were untold. Each wine is hand made. Each wine reflects the personality of the land and the subtle imprint of man in varying degrees. Now encompassing the terrific value of Castillo del Moro, Torre Solar, and Te Quiero and the organic credentials of Campo Flores, (also available on our site) Vinos Mas Buscados is a reflection of all that is best in modern Spanish wine making. Vineyards are grown on the plains surrounding the town of Manzanares in La Mancha on a number of varying soil types. These range from deep clay loams with good drainage through to some very stony soils with a breakdown of granites, giving quite different flavour profiles. These vary in flavour from gooseberry and tropical pineapple in the Sauvignon Blanc to the more subtle pear and white nectarine in the Airen. This modern, crisp white demonstrates bright citrus characteristics on the nose, while offering deliciously vibrant apple fruit flavours and a zesty twang courtesy of the Sauvignon Blanc on the palate. A long clean finish with hints of grapefruit. Food match: Great to drink on its own or with salads and seafood.
