Notes on the Wine
This is a great summer white that smells a bit like Jolly Ranchers. It's salty and sweet on the palate with lime and peach that makes your mouth water. Crisp with balanced acidity.
Notes on the Producer
Friend and Farmer is the dream of three brothers, Francisco, Javier and Luis Parra, a way to celebrate their home of La Mancha by raising organically and biodynamically grown grapes.
The Parra brothers work two vineyards near the town of Las Mesas. One is Entresendas (between paths) sitting in a dried river bed. These rich, alluvial soils are perfect for the cultivation of grapes reflecting light and heat and ensuring drainage. The other vineyard is Olla del Monte is perhaps easily represented by its other name: Cuesta Colorá, the colored slope. This gentle slope is covered in chalky clay and a fine layer of pebbles on the surface that capture and radiate the heat of the sun—a key benefit during the desert nights.
The Friend & Farmer wines are Demeter and vegan certified with only naturally occurring sulfites. The Hand Work liter bottle of wine organic certified as well as vegan and minimal sulfites.
