Description

Carchelo Blanco | DO Jumilla, Spain

 Organic    Vegan

Carchelo Blanco is the freshest and most aromatic white wine expression of Bodegas Carchelo, crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on the northern slopes of the Sierra del Carche in DO Jumilla. The vineyards are planted at approximately 600 metres above sea level, on sandy-calcareous soils with limestone gravel. Conditions that help preserve freshness and mineral character despite the warm Mediterranean climate.

The wine is aged for 3 months on fine lees in ovoid tanks.  Weekly bâtonnage adds texture, complexity and a beautifully rounded mouthfeel while maintaining freshness and precision.

On the nose, Carchelo Blanco reveals elegant aromas of white flowers, lime, fennel, bay leaf and green stone fruit layered with citrus and subtle herbal notes. The palate is fresh, balanced and mineral, with lively acidity, medium body and a smooth texture from the lees ageing.

This is a modern Mediterranean Sauvignon Blanc that combines aromatic intensity, freshness and gastronomic versatility while expressing the unique terroir of the Sierra del Carche.

About the Producer

Today, the winery is recognised as one of the leading modern producers of the region, crafting wines that combine Mediterranean identity with freshness, balance and terroir expression.

The vineyards are planted between 600 and 750 metres above sea level, where limestone and sandy-loam soils, low rainfall and dramatic day-to-night temperature differences create ideal conditions for expressive and balanced wines. High altitude conditions preserve acidity and aromatic complexity which allows perfect ripening of Mediterranean varieties.
