Alvarez y Diez Mantel Blanco 2025

Grape: Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Rueda, Spain

Farming: Sustainable

Alvarez y Diez defines wine through the harmonious interplay of climate, soil, and grape variety. With 100 hectares of vineyard, the winery is committed to practicing viticulture that embraces these natural elements. The vines are carefully tended, allowing the climate and land to impart their unique character to the grapes, which is evident in the final product. The region’s significant temperature variations between day and night contribute to an ideal balance of sugar and acidity. The soil enhances this process by providing excellent aeration and drainage during rainy seasons, while underground clay reserves moisture during drier periods. Under the sun’s careful watch, nature works its magic until the time of harvest. Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most well-known strains in the world. It was introduced to the DO Rueda in the 1970s, bringing a certain modern and international air to the region.  It comes from the French Loire region, where it is a fundamental component in the production of Bordeaux white wines. Its adaptation to our area has been perfect. The differences in soil and climate, more hours of sunshine than in the Loire and Bordeaux regions, partly allow us to achieve unique results.

Food Pairing: An excellent match with seared scallops and butter sauce, grilled chicken, roasted summer vegetables and soft creamy cheeses.
