Vinos Sanz Finca La Colina El Loco 2018

Drink now through to 2020. Serve well chilled.

With an illustrious history stretching back to 1870 , Vinos Sanz is the oldest winery in the Rueda wine region in North West Spain. Their winemaking philosophy centres around creating the very best raw ingredients, the grapes which go into their wines, in order to craft authentic and distinctive Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc wines.

Their El Loco or “The Crazy One” is a careful composition of Rueda’s two iconic grape varieties, Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo. This easygoing white blend is made with fruit sourced from Vinos Sanz’s prestigious Finca La Colina vineyard. To express the pure varietal character of both grapes, the fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 14°C over a period of 15 to 20 days.

The enchanting nose displays ripe aromas of white peaches, mangoes, pineapple and fresh lemon zest, while the first sip reveals a crisp acidity and intriguing hints of aniseed along with rich tropical fruit flavours. The well-developed structure and poised balance of this wine make it an excellent accompaniment to seafood and fish dishes. For an authentic taste of Spain, try serving a well chilled bottle with a traditional paella or alongside a selection of cured meats and cheeses.
