Cambrico Rufete Blanco Granito

Cambrico · Sierra de Francia, Spain

This wine highlights the qualities of Rufete Blanca, a native variety from Salamanca. Aromas of chamomile, citrus, apple and dry leaves. Great liveliness on the palate with a hint of tannin that the thick skins bring to this wine.

Grapes come from the vineyard “La Mata de Francia” sitting at 700m altitude. A rare Spanish white with incredible focus, texture and minerality.
