This Spanish white wine blends the crisp brightness of Sauvignon Blanc with the unobtrusive, fresh character of Airen. Light-bodied and easygoing, it offers an approachable profile that suits warm evenings and convivial meals. The wine’s 11% alcohol gives it a gentle balance between fruit expression and refreshing lift.
On the eye it shows a pale straw colour with subtle green reflections, hinting at youthful freshness. The nose opens with lively citrus and green apple notes, while softer floral and stone-fruit tones from the Airen add a gentle layer of complexity. Aromas are bright rather than heavy, inviting a first sip.
On the palate this wine is clean and brisk. High-pitched acidity from the Sauvignon Blanc brings a tangy edge, while the Airen contributes a soft, smooth mid-palate that keeps the overall texture light. Flavours of lemon zest, pear and a whisper of tropical fruit mingle with herbaceous hints for a balanced profile.
The finish is crisp and uncomplicated, leaving a dry, refreshing aftertaste that encourages another glass. This wine’s light body and lively acidity make it versatile at the table and well suited to everyday drinking occasions.

Food pairings and occasions
This wine pairs naturally with grilled or roasted poultry; its acidity cuts through richer sauces and complements herb-forward preparations of chicken or turkey.
With beef, choose lighter or simply seasoned cuts—think skewers or thinly sliced preparations—where the wine’s freshness can balance savory flavours without being overwhelmed.
Cheese pairings work well with fresh or semi-hard varieties. Soft chèvre, young manchego-style cheeses and mild cow’s-milk cheeses highlight the wine’s citrus and floral notes.
Savoury snacks such as olive-based tapas, herb-marinated vegetables or light seafood bites benefit from the wine’s clean acidity and approachable fruit, making it a friendly choice for casual gatherings and alfresco dining.
