Origin and terroir

This wine comes from Lagos de Arena, an area with sandy and stony soils that ensure good drainage and distinct minerality. The warm climate is partially offset by the location and soil structure, keeping the wine fresh and lively. This combination results in a style with both ripe fruit and tension.

Grapes and vineyard management

The 2024 Juan Gil Ladera de las Bragas Blanco is made from 100% Doña Blanca. This grape is known for its fresh acidity and subtle aromatic profile. The grapes are harvested by hand to preserve both ripeness and natural freshness.

Vinification and aging

After the harvest, a short cold maceration with the skins follows, after which the must is drained and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of approximately 15 degrees. This method ensures the preservation of freshness and aromatic purity. The wine is aimed at immediate drinking pleasure and is not aged in wood.

Color, smell and taste

The wine has a bright straw-yellow color. On the nose, it is refined and expressive, with notes of white flowers such as jasmine, complemented by green apple, pear, and light citrus zest. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a light body and distinct minerality. The acidity provides tension and ensures a tight and clean profile. The finish is clean, fresh, and lightly mineral, with a subtle citrus note that lingers.

Style and character

This is a light to medium-bodied white wine with a fresh and precise style. The emphasis is on pure fruit, lively acidity, and minerality. The wine is elegant and easy to drink, with a modern and direct expression that suits the character of the grape and the terroir well.
