Mesta is modern range of organically and sustainably grown single varietal wines from the fashionable DO Uclés area in central Castile. Tempranillo grapes are harvested from high-altitude vineyards at night and in the early morning. A short pre-fermentation and cold maceration before fermentation in stainless steel. No malolactic conversion to retain crisp character.
The result is a crisp, aromatic wine of light lemon appearance. The lovely herbal bouquet of white pepper, grass and fennel is layered with fresh notes of pineapple and lime. All this is reflected on the dry and zesty palate with a citrus finish. Try with citrus enhanced dishes such as stuffed vine leaves or salads, or with Mexican cuisine such as fish tacos and chicken enchiladas.
The Mesta range offers wines of great purity and varietal typicity, stylishly showcase the Spanish wine revolution under the symbol of the Mesta; a powerful alliance of sheep ranchers in medieval Castile, who controlled the cañadas - traditional rights of way for migrating sheep. Cañadas are still protected and are a model of coexistence with nature.
