Fuenteseca Sauvignon Blanc
Spanish organic white, bone dry, night picked in Camporrobles.
The story behind Fuenteseca
Fuenteseca comes from Finca Fuenteseca, a limestone plateau nearly 900 to 1,000 meters up in Camporrobles, inside Spain's DO Utiel-Requena. Bodega Sierra Norte was founded in 1995 by three partner winemakers, and estate bottling under this label began in 1998. The third generation runs it now.
In 2000 it became the first winery in the Valencian Community to earn organic certification, and the wine is vegan. Grapes are picked at night to keep the fruit fresh, then pressed gently and fermented cold in stainless steel. Two months on fine lees, no oak. The white is a blend, 80% Macabeo and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, at 12% ABV.

Two ways to drink it: the 750mL bottle for the table and the 3L for a crowd. Both are the same estate white, dry and un-oaked.
