Marques de la Carrasca Verdejo Sauvignon Blanc

This Spanish sensation hails from the Castilla La Mancha wine region, considered the largest in the world. Roughly half of Spain's wine production comes from this region, which is roughly located in the triangle formed by Murcia, Granada, and Madrid. For a long time, this region was primarily the epitome of mass-produced wines, which gave Castilla La Mancha a somewhat dubious reputation. Since then, several wineries have invested heavily in their vineyards, and the quality is simply excellent. Marqués de la Carrasca is one of the high-flyers that has benefited from the improvement in La Mancha wines.

The wines of Marqués de la Carrasca

Marques de la Carrasca is part of the larger Bodegas Lozano winery, a well-known name for seasoned wine drinkers. This winery has a history of over a century and certainly has a lot to prove. It all began in 1920 with Juan Ramón Lozano, who decided to start producing wines on a small scale using grapes from his own vineyard. This proved successful, as the third generation has been at the helm since 1974, and the fourth is eager to carry on his great-grandfather's legacy.

The winery is located in the heart of Castilla La Mancha, just northwest of Albacete. In this bone-dry region, winemaking is challenging, but certainly not impossible. By selecting the right grapes and planting them in the right conditions, you create the finest wines. That's precisely why Marqués de la Carrasca chose Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc. Thanks to the hot Spanish sun, they develop exceptionally well. The combination of these two refreshing grapes creates an exuberant aroma of Granny Smith, fresh mint, and gooseberry. A hint of grapefruit adds a slightly bitter note to the finish, making Marqués de la Carrasca Verdejo Sauvignon Blanc a perfect thirst quencher.
