Mestizaje Blanco 2024
The Freshness of Mediterranean Merseguera
"The purity of the Mediterranean high plateau: Mestizaje Blanco is an ode to the Merseguera grape, organically grown at Finca Terrerazo. A white wine with soul, where working with the lees provides a seductive unctuousness without losing its vibrant and floral profile."
