Description

Salto del Usero Blanco | DO Bullas, Spain

 Organic    Vegan

Salto del Usero Blanco is a vibrant organic white wine produced by Bodega Monastrell in the heart of DO Bullas. Made from 100% Macabeo, it reflects the freshness of high-altitude vineyards and the Mediterranean character that defines this unique corner of Murcia.

The grapes come from organically farmed vineyards in the Valle del Aceniche, situated at around 850 metres above sea level. The combination of limestone soils, warm sunny days and cool mountain nights allows the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving excellent natural acidity and aromatic intensity. Every bunch is harvested by hand and carefully selected before arriving at the winery.

After a short skin contact of around four hours, only the free-run juice is used. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at approximately 15°C, preserving the purity of the fruit and the freshness of the wine. The result is a crisp, expressive white that showcases the true character of Macabeo.

The nose offers aromas of green apple, grapefruit, lime and white flowers, together with subtle hints of hay and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is fresh, elegant and beautifully balanced, with lively acidity and a clean, refreshing finish that makes it exceptionally easy to enjoy.

Whether served as an aperitif or paired with seafood, grilled fish or light Mediterranean dishes, Salto del Usero Blanco is a wonderful example of how organic viticulture and careful winemaking can produce a wine full of freshness and personality.

About the Producer

Bodega Monastrell is a family-owned winery in the heart of DO Bullas, founded by Alfonso and Mavi. They planted their vineyards in the Valle del Aceniche, where limestone soils, mountain air and an altitude of around 850 metres create ideal conditions for producing fresh, expressive wines.

From the beginning, the family chose organic farming because they believe healthy vineyards produce better wines. They work the land with respect for nature, harvest every vineyard by hand and carefully select the grapes before they reach the winery. Their goal is simple: preserve the character of each variety and let the vineyard speak through every bottle.

Although Monastrell remains at the heart of the winery, the team has also shown what Macabeo can achieve in Bullas. Salto del Usero Blanco is a perfect example of their philosophy. It is fresh, vibrant and full of Mediterranean character, proving that great white wines can flourish in this remarkable region.
