SIERRA CANTABRIA | WHITE 2023 75cl

Product Sheet – Sierra Cantabria Blanco 2023

Sierra Cantabria Blanco 2023 is a Mediterranean-mountain song that springs from Rioja Alta, where native and French white grapes intertwine to create a fresh, elegant wine with wild minerality. A white wine that reflects international winemaking and ancestral terroir.

Cold maceration for 8–10 hours gives way to fermentation with native yeasts: 50% Sauvignon Blanc (in second-use French oak barrels) provides structure, while the rest—Tempranillo Blanco, Viura, Malvasía, and Maturana Blanca—ferments in steel, maintaining varietal freshness. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 2 months in second-use barrels, which adds volume without masking its fresh and fruity spirit.
