Casa Los Frailes, Blanc de Trilogía 2024

Casa Los Frailes is one of Spain’s pioneering organic and biodynamic wineries, based in the Terres dels Alforins, Valencia. They’ve farmed organically since the early 2000s and focus on low-intervention viticulture, dry-farmed vines at altitude (650m), and minimal chemical input. They aim to express their calcareous soils and Mediterranean terroir with purity and respect for the land. A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Muscat, and 20% Verdil, the 2024 Blanc de Trilogía is barrel-fermented (Sauvignon aged 6 months in oak; Muscat and Verdil in stainless) from organically and biodynamically farmed grapes. Pale straw-gold in the glass, it greets with citrus zest, white peach and a subtle floral lift, underpinned by a mineral-chalk edge. The palate shows bright lemon and green-apple freshness, saline minerality and a clean, lingering finish. Crisp, elegant and distinctly Mediterranean in character.
