A fresh, dry white wine made from the Verdejo grape from warm Jumilla (Murcia) - a region generally known for its powerful red wines. Bodegas Alceño shows here that Verdejo can develop a very unique, refreshing character at high altitudes. The grapes grow at an altitude of 600 to 800 meters on stony, calcareous soil, which provides the necessary freshness despite the warm Southern Spanish climate.
