The vineyards in Jumilla
Sierra de Enmedio Sauvignon Blanc is produced by the Bodegas Alceño winery. The Jumilla wine region forms the basis for its exquisite wines. The vineyards where the grapes for this Sierra de Enmedio grow enjoy a perfect climate. It can get scorching hot in this Spanish region; summer temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius are not uncommon. However, because the vineyards are relatively close to the Mediterranean coast, a pleasant sea breeze blows through them, especially at night. This is especially beneficial for the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. They develop a high level of acidity and freshness. This makes Sierra de Enmedio Sauvignon Blanc a well-balanced glass of this delightful white grape.
