Flavor Profile
It was Verdil and Merseguera, two little known Spanish grapes, that drew us to El Enhebro. Historically, both have been used as blending grapes—the former for its lemony flavor and the latter for its fairly neutral qualities—and neither has been grown widely. But when used together, it turns out they deliver one seriously delicious sip, with refreshing citrus tones underscored by nutty nuances.
The genius match up comes courtesy of Bodega La Viña, a leading wine co-op in southwestern Valencia, established in 1945 by 38 local winegrowers. Today, they work with almost 6,000 acres of vineyards between them, with native varieties mingled with more internationally beloved ones.
This bottling is meant to “weave” together the winery’s heritage and the modern perspectives they use daily. (El Enhebro is a play on enhebrar, the Spanish word for thread.)
So what does it taste like? Fresh and crisp, yet floral and luscious. In your glass, expect distinctive lemon and lime tones to come together with hints of almond and just-cut grass. It’s sure to shine next to cheese plates and fish dishes of all types.
It’s also sure to sell out fast. So order yours today.
