Our own wines!
Region: Utiel-Requena, Spain
Returning to Utiel-Requena because of our enduring fascination with the region, we partnered with fantastic winemaker Alberto Pedron to make our very own trio of low-intervention wines: a light easydrinking orange Moscatel, a unique blend of orange and white Macabeo, and a light red from the almost-extinct Royal grape variety. We're very proud of the wines and hope you enjoy them too. This year they are extremely limited production but in 2024 we plan to make a larger amount.
