The wine

A coupage of Merseguera (60%), Muscatel (35%) and other varieties, originating from different single vineyard plots in the La Mata Natural Park, a geologically specific area of land, originally coastal, whose high sand content enabled this vineyard to survive the phylloxera invasion.

Fermented in large earthenware jars and in contact with the skins, appearing a striking orangey-yellow colour. On the nose, its chalky minerality and intense salinity are particularly notable, with complex aromas of white flowers in bloom. On the palate, it exhibits good acidity, mineral notes, an oily touch, citrus hints of tropical fruits, lychees, and white blossom. A distinctive wine, in a very good style, which the connoisseur will especially appreciate. Ideal for accompanying rice dishes, fish, seafood, pâté, cheeses...

NOTE: The Rafa Bernabé wines have been produced with minimum intervention, vinified with hardly any handling and in the most natural way possible, without the addition of sulphur and with yeasts from the actual vineyard, and they have not been clarified or filtered. Such a natural production process can result in the wine showing some cloudiness or sediment, and specifically in some vintages more than others. It is therefore advisable to keep the bottle in an upright position for several hours before serving.

Rafa Bernabé is a man devoted to his land, who loves and respects nature, and works with sincerity and dedication not only to revive the wine-growing heritage of the Alicante region, but also to offer us wines which are a faithful reflection of the whole wine-growing culture that appears forgotten nowadays in so many places on the Mediterranean coast. It seems like a dream come true to be able to look out upon these vineyards, free of invasive urban development, where local...
