Pale lemon-yellow with hints of green. Intense aromas of pineapple, green grass, white flowers and a flinty touch. Dry and refreshing on the palate with a long citrus finish with concentrated flavours.

Melea was the first Spanish wine brand to become a member of “1% For The Planet”. 1% of Melea gross sales go to charities that support biodiversity and promote the use of organic farming, avoiding the use of agrochemicals that harm bees and other pollinators.

Fruit comes from organically certified, traditionally managed, dry-farmed vines in the Cuenca area of La Mancha. The vineyards were planted in 1999 and are at an altitude of 2175 feet with sandyclay soils, low in organic matter and high in chalk and limestone. This suppresses yields to just 3kg per plant, giving greater quality grapes. The extreme continental climate means there is a high diurnal temperature range conserving acidity and increasing aromatic intensity. The lack of rainfall reduces the risk of fungal diseases.

The family winery is located in Alicante and is a leader in the production of high quality, organic wines. They are IFS certified and produce wines with organic and vegan certification.

Grapes were harvested the second half of September, later than average to ensure full ripeness. Wild yeast fermented at a controlled temperature of 15ºC with clean musts. Fined with vegan-friendly pea protein.
