Fuente de las Hontanillas is a single-parcel white from Aalto, a blend led by Verdejo with Godello and Albillo from limestone soils at 850 metres, aged ten months in large French oak casks.

Bright yellow, it offers ripe red apple, citrus and white flowers, with gentle spice from the oak.

Fresh and crisp, with generous volume, stone fruit and citrus and a fine mineral thread, it finishes long and balanced.

Serve with grilled turbot, roast chicken or lobster with ginger and scallion.

Tasting notes
▾

Bright yellow with golden reflections. Aromatic nose of ripe red apple, citrus, and white flowers with subtle spicy notes beautifully integrated from 10 months in French oak bocoys. Fresh and crisp on the palate with generous volume and satisfying textural complexity. Flavours of stone fruit and citrus are framed by gentle woody nuances and a fine mineral thread from the limestone soils at 850 metres elevation. Persistent and elegant finish with excellent balance between richness and acidity.
