It elegantly blends Albariza-soil Palomino Fino with other indigenous Jerez varieties, including Vigiriega Blanca and Malvasía, as well as a touch of other estate-grown grapes. This blend serves to amplify the Palomino grape's inherent character, resulting in a wine with vibrant fruit flavors, ripe freshness, and a pronounced saline minerality. With bright acidity, expressive citrus and stone fruit aromas, and a refreshing, persistent finish, Vara y Pulgar Blanco is crafted for enjoyment and consumption upon release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA titan of the Spanish wine industry - introducing Alberto Orte!

Maria José López de Heredia and her winemaker sister, Mercedes, couldn’t care less about wine fashions. They've been producing wines in the style their great grandfather did, where their wines slumber in their deep cellars for many years before release.  The quest for perfection is of utmost importance, and no wine is released until it is ready.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LOPEZ DE HEREDIA","offers":[{"title":"DUTY PAID","offer_id":56774213599618,"sku":"A5216105","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/files\/BC_Upload_532207a7-d069-427d-b480-fa0a651c59be.jpg?v=1784292997"}],"url":"https:\/\/swig.co.uk\/collections\/grape-malvasia\/region-rioja.oembed","provider":"Swig Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
