The 2022 Las Bairetas is a dry white produced with Moscatel grapes from a vineyard planted in 1994 in the village of Chiva on red clay soils at 300 meters in altitude, and one hectare is head-pruned. They went for a skin-contact white with a maceration time of 20 days, then it went through malolactic and matured in tinaja for six months. It has a bright yellow color and a nose that combines the varietal notes of orange blossom and peel with earthier hints and the yellow fruit from the skin contact. The palate is medium-bodied, with 12.6% alcohol, mellow acidity and a dry, chalky finish. 3,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023. ... More details

Winery
• 100% Moscatel de Alejandria. • Organically-farmed from the red clay soils of the Sierra de Chiva. • The grapes are vatted and foot-trodden over 10-15 days in stone lagares. • This is followed by de-stemming and a brief period of additional skin maceration. • Fermentation proceeds spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and the resulting wine is left in tank to decant naturally.

green grapes

Varietal: Muscat

The Muscat grape has been grown and cultivated for centuries all over Europe, and in more recent years has become something of a flagship varietal for many New World countries. It is widely admired for its versatility and for the fact that it can be successfully used for the production of many different styles and types of wine. In eastern and central Europe, it is most commonly associated with elegant sweet dessert wines, further west it is used for bright and strong dry white wines, and it is also famous for the superb sparkling wines it produces, full of elegant bubbles and a mineral-rich flavor which compliments its natural 'grapey' character. Muscat grapes are generally agreed to be one of the oldest varietals in the world, and this goes some way to explaining the seemingly vast differences the fruit shows in various parts of the world.

Country: Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
