Bodegas Arrayán "La Suerte" 2022 Albillo Real Méntrida DO Toledo

750ml bottle

13% abv

Bright nose of yellow stonefruits, white flowers, honey, and fennel, with hints of roasted nuts and nougat. Mineral driven with a touch of spice. Elegant and velvety palate. 

"The Albillo Real was produced with grapes from two vineyards planted at some 600 meters of altitude in the village of Almorox in the province of Toledo. It had a 24 hour skin and stem contact and then fermented with indigenous yeasts in 300 and 500 oak barrels and matured in those used oak barrels for 10 months. Despite having less alcohol than the white from Cebreros, this feels riper and has more developed aromas, with the wide and expansive palate, coming through as soft and with moderate acidity. 2030 bottles produced."  – WA

Bodegas Arrayán was founded in 1999 as a personal project of José María Entrecanales and María Marsans. The appointment of Maite Sánchez as oenologist in 2009 marked a new era for Arrayán in terms of both the process of making its existing wines and Maite’s focus on adding autochthonous varieties to the range. Her priority is to enable the vines to bring out the full expression of each terroir. Vine-growing practices are environmentally friendly and without herbicides or pesticides to favor biodiversity and balance. The same approach is applied to winemaking: fermentation occurs spontaneously using the grapes' natural yeasts, without any added products, with the goal of achieving the maximum purity and personality of each terroir.
