Matas Altas Blanco 2024 comes from old vineyards in Fuente-Álamo within the Jumilla appellation, planted at high elevation on limestone, gravel and marl soils.
The blend is led by Macabeo and Airén, with small proportions of traditional local varieties including Tortosí, Malvasía and Pardilla. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and approximately eleven months in large foudres give the wine texture without masking its freshness.
Citrus, green apple and white peach lead the aromatic profile, followed by white flowers, dried Mediterranean herbs and a subtle flinty note. The palate combines creamy texture with vibrant acidity, finishing with a pronounced mineral and saline character.
Matas Altas is an excellent example of how old vines, altitude and limestone soils can transform varieties often associated with simple wines into something much more structured and gastronomic. The result is a distinctive Mediterranean white with both depth and tension.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled fish, shellfish, octopus, paella, seafood rice dishes, roast chicken, Mediterranean vegetables, soft cheeses, or lightly spiced dishes.
Serve around 50–54°F.
