The García family have 22 hectares of land in the Contraviesa mountain range, on the southern face of the Sierra Nevada. Half of the property is dedicated to vines, the other half to organic almond and fig trees. Set between 1150 and 1400 metres above sea level, the slopes of the vineyard are often far too steep for any type of machinery to traverse, so the family turn the soil each year traditionally, using mules. The soil here is mostly slate and other rocks, very low in organic matter but rich in minerals. Rainfall is low and the vines push their roots deep below the surface in order to reach water, sucking up minerals along the way. Despite its position in the south and having very little rainfall, proximity to the Mediterranean means that it doesn’t bake here, helping the wines maintain freshness and balance.

This rich orange wine has skin contact for 30 days, giving it a balanced character, with citrus acidity, a bit oxidative and nutty. It’s a field blend of all Verdevique's white grapes - mostly Vigiriego. It is its own thing - unique, unusual and really great. 

Grapes: Vigiriego, Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Jaen Blanco, Perruna

Pair with: Seafood, manchego cheese
