Vintage Roots Contra Viento Albarino Parra Jimenez 750ml

Albariño is one of those ‘on trend’ grapes and its popularity is well deserved. Previously released as the Pazo de Mirasoles Albariño, this wine now has a new name and label, but it’s the same great wine inside. Now called Contra Viento Albariño, meaning “Against the Wind” or “against all odds”, it is a nod to planting a coastal native grape in sun-drenched La Mancha, where “the sun reigns and the wind never stops”. Despite the sunny, warm climate, vineyard altitude and cool night temperatures preserve freshness and lift, giving classic Albariño character with bright lemon meringue notes and clean acidity. Still superb value, this vibrant white is a brilliant partner for seafood, grilled prawns or light summer salads.

About the Estate:
Certified organic since 1995, the Parra family’s pursuit came from the devotion of the three brothers Francisco, Javier and Luis, who founded their La Mancha property with the conviction to organically and biodynamically farm every vine under their care. The Parra family works two large vineyards in La Mancha, near the town of Las Mesas (The Tables) in central Spain, totalling 180 hectares. Delivering clean, honest wines grown in harmony with the land, Parra Jiminez wines are always good value and a natural wine lover’s hidden gem.
