Azul Y Garanza Suelo Vivo Blanco

 'Suelo Vivo' translates to 'living soil,' in reference to their natural farming ethos. This light orange wine is the perfect introduction to the style, and fantastic for everyday drinking. The Garnacha Blanca gives texture and spice whilst the Moscatel adds an uplifting aromatic and fruity element.

Made by Maria, Dani, and Fernando, a dynamic trio who slowly converted an abandoned cooperative building in their village of Carcastillo to a fully operational winery. A huge commitment to biodiversity in the vines leads to wines of pronounced purity.

Azul y Garanza Suelo Vivo Blanco is a direct offspring of this healthy soil. The vineyard is situated in the Natural Park of the Bardenas Reales, in Navarra, a semi-desert landscape of unique beauty due to its singular geological formations and has been a UNESCO biosphere reserve since the year 2000. They work organically, following regenerative practices, and the harvest is done by hand at the optimal point of ripeness. Once at the winery, a minimal intervention approach is advocated. The selected grapes macerate with skins and spontaneously ferment with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. Subsequently, the wine remains in these same vessels for over 6 months, and finally, bottling occurs after a light clarification and without filtration.
