Zestos 2013 Malvar Blanco, Vino de Madrid

Aromatic, light-body white.
Grape: Malvar.
Region: Spain> Madrid.
Notes: Organic. No oak. Old vines.


If you have a demanding palate and love the bright acid of Sauvignon Blanc and the body of Chardonnay, the Malvar grape will greatly reward your taste.
Zestos, meaning ‘basket’ in Spanish, Blanco is produced from organically grown old Malvar vines. The rare grape is indigenous to the Iberian Peninsula, and it is the principal white variety of the Madrid wine region. It displays lychees, stone fruit, citrus and white flower notes, it finishes smooth and broad, with good cling. Most people are unaware that Madrid makes wine and because Vinos de Madrid is not yet “on the radar” of the consumer, it is a great source of incredible values today.

Food Pairing sandwiches, sushi, chicken kabobs, chicken burritos and just about any fresh shellfish or seafood you can think of.
