Manuel Manzaneque Suarez, La Mancha DO (Spain) Airen-Macabeo-Sauvignon Blanc 2016

May 14, 2019

By Marguerite Thomas

 Many of Fatum’s grapes come from 35-year-old vines.  One of those grapes, Airen, is largely unknown outside Spain but it is, in fact, a commonly grown white wine grape according to the website Botany One.  With a pleasant fruit character seasoned by touch of salinity this light, tasty wine is definitely worth seeking out.  The blend is 50% Airen, 35% Macabeo and 15% Sauvignon Blanc.
