Alba Balba\u00edna is part of the winery’s strong commitment to the albariza white wines of the Albariza soil and serves as an entry point to biologically aged wines.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The Palomino grapes used to make this wine come from the Balba\u00edna \u2018pago\u2019, the epicenter of historic vineyards in the Jerez District, to which Barbadillo has had a longstanding connection.<\/b><\/p>\n

Bodegas Barbadillo introduces its new range of still white wines from the Palomino grape and aged on lees.<\/span><\/p>\n

To craft Alba Balba\u00edna, Barbadillo’s technical team selected grapes from a 28-hectare vineyard located in The Balba\u00edna \u2018pago\u2019, specifically in the area of Balba\u00edna Alta area, where the Palomino Fina vines grow just 10 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of August, the grapes were harvested to produce the must, which then underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks and was subsequently aged on its lees for 5 months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Montse Molina, the technical director and winemaker at Bodegas Barbadillo, comments on this new creation: \u2018The albariza soil of Balba\u00edna Alta is known for its brilliantly white color during the driest months. Hence the name of this wine: Alba, representing.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Identity, Origin, and Terroir<\/b><\/p>\n

It is a privileged area where the purest essence of Lower Andalusia’s character is felt: the clear light, the sea air, and the white albariza soil, where the vines\u2019 roots the grow deeply in search of the underground moisture.<\/span><\/p>\n
