The finest Sauvignon Blanc grapes from a vineyard with a (deliberately) very low yield are hand-picked in the very early morning after which they are immediately transferred to a cold room. From the cold room the grapes are selected box by box and only the good grapes go into this 100% Sauvignon Impromptu. The grapes are pressed very lightly so that only the first free-flow juice is used and this is then fermented in new American oak on its own must. Once the fermentation is complete the wine remains on its must until it is bottled and this takes place almost unfiltered in order to retain all the flavors.

The Sauvignon Blanc "Impromptu" has a powerful bouquet of smoke, beeswax and granite that you might not immediately identify as a Sauvignon Blanc - more like a Viognier. In the glass the wine has a beautiful light yellow color with green hues. In the nose the wine has very intense aromas with minerals and tropical fruit. The taste is very well balanced with fine tannins and subtle walnut, mandarin that lead to a very composed long finish. The wine is extremely well balanced with a very good acidity. This is really a "full glass". In the mouth you taste a rich weight of fruit, fresh and not sweet, good acidity and a very long and harmonious finish. This Impromptu is a beautiful Sauvignon blanc and it is a pity that only a very limited number of bottles are produced.

The Hispano Suizas estate is the story of the conviction to make a dream come true.

The history of the Hispano Suizas winery

Hispano Suizas was founded in 2006 by three passionate winemakers with a shared vision to create a world-class winery. Pablo Ossorio, Rafael Navarro, and Marc Grin were united by their common passion for wine and their desire to introduce innovations in viticulture. With their extensive experience in both national and international wine markets, they transformed Hispano Suizas into a winery that gained significant recognition in a short time. The winery has been awarded numerous prizes and is loved by wine enthusiasts worldwide.

Their goal: To produce high-quality wine and make it accessible to the growing number of wine lovers. This requires daily care and attention to ensure the best way to produce exceptional wine. They have been meticulous and patient during production, knowing that the right combination can yield an exceptionally beautiful result. The ambition is high; producing masterful wine and making it accessible to the consumer are often conflicting goals.

The region where Hispano Suizas is located

Hispano Suizas is located in the Utiel-Requena region, Valencia, one of the most important wine areas in Spain. This region is part of the autonomous community of Valencia and enjoys an ideal climate for viticulture. With hot summers and cool nights, the area offers the perfect conditions for the development of complex and flavorful wines. The limestone-rich soil and the altitude of the vineyards contribute to the distinctive flavor profiles of the wines produced here.

Viticulture at Hispano Suizas

Hispano Suizas combines modern techniques with age-old methods to guarantee high quality. The wines grow in an area covering 61 hectares, 46 hectares of which surround the winery, while the remaining 15 hectares are only 500 meters away. The vineyards are meticulously maintained, with a focus on sustainable viticultural practices. The grapes are handpicked to ensure only the best quality is selected. Precision is maintained throughout the entire process, from grape cultivation to bottling, to ensure consistent quality.

What grape varieties are used?

Hispano Suizas uses a variety of grape types, both local and international. Some of the main grapes used include Bobal, a regional variety known for producing wines with deep color and robust flavor, and Tempranillo, renowned for its versatility and refinement. Additionally, grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir are cultivated to create unique blends and single varietals. For white wines, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are used, resulting in fresh and aromatic products.

Approximately 4,000 vines grow per hectare, allowing the winery to work with great precision to cultivate and harvest the best quality grapes. The production per vine is only 2 kg. Due to the diversity of grapes grown, the harvest spans almost three months, starting with the cava in August and concluding with the red wines in October.
