The Wine
In Spain’s sun-baked La Mancha, families have tended small plots of old, free-standing (‘bush’) vines for centuries. Usually no more than a few widely spaced rows, handed down from one generation to the next. But with so many swapping country life for the city, these are in danger of being abandoned. Bodegas Fontana goes out on a limb to pay local families a little more for the grapes they produce. This way, the families will carry on nurturing the precious organic vineyards and keep the region’s ancient wine culture alive. Great wine like this is the result. Full of sun-ripened intensity and tongue-tingling, lime-scented flavours, it’s lovely on its own and well matched with green olives, grilled sardines, chicken salad and soft cheeses.
"A real treasure of old Spain made ultra fresh for modern tastes. Fabulous!"
