Description

Flor Malvés | DO Alicante, Spain

🌿 Organic

Flor Malvés is a beautifully different 100% Malvasía from Finca Collado in Alicante. Dry, silky and full of flavour, it shows a much more gastronomic side of a grape often associated with sweeter, highly aromatic wines.

The nose is wonderfully inviting, with notes of apple, pastry and brioche, followed by subtle floral and Mediterranean touches. Nine months resting on its lees gives the wine extra richness and a lovely creamy texture without taking away its freshness.

On the palate, it is smooth and generous, yet distinctly dry. There is plenty of flavour and texture, balanced by freshness and a long, elegant finish.

This is definitely a Malvasía for the dinner table. Seafood, grilled fish, rice dishes or creamy cheeses would all be very happy alongside it — but it’s equally good when you simply fancy a white with a little more personality.

About the Producer

Finca Collado is a family winery in Salinas, Alicante, surrounded by vineyards in the Alto Vinalopó. The winery focuses on producing small quantities of wines that reflect the local landscape, traditional grape varieties and the wine heritage of inland Alicante.

Flor Malvés is part of the winery’s Vinos Ancestrales collection. The idea behind the range is simple: look back at traditional Alicante winemaking methods and bring the best of them into today’s wines.

For Flor Malvés, Finca Collado took inspiration from an old local tradition of using the finest free-run Malvasía juice to make dry white wine. The wine then spends nine months resting on its lees, creating the silky texture and delicious pastry-like character that make it so distinctive.

The result isn’t a wine that needs explaining before you drink it. It’s simply a very good example of how exciting Alicante’s lesser-known wines can be.
