Tasting notes
Strikingly fresh full dry white wine. Bright almost golden colour with thick golden-green tears. Combination nose of mineral and secondary aromas of white stone fruit, vanilla and dried flowers. Voluptuous texture with a wide mouthfeel and a fresh long finish. Deliciously smoked and grilled Mediterranean fish, pasta with grated sheep cheese, paella, gratinated root vegetables and hard cheeses. Decant half an hour before pouring. Serving temperature: 10°C
Wine Story
I started this project more than 15 years ago with a lot of enthusiasm to save the history of these lands through the recovery of centenary and pre-phylloxera Tempranillo vineyards, thus avoiding the extinction of one of its most recognized grape varieties: the Albillo Mayor.
I embarked on it by surrounding myself with a team that got involved with me in this vital adventure. During all these years I have shared my day-to-day life with people who have contributed a great deal of work and dedication to the wines of Ermita del Conde. Wines made with soul and a lot of love to achieve a very authentic and quality result.
