Verdejo & Sauvignon Blanc, Bodegas MA – El Coche, 2024, Spain
El Coche 2024 is a lively and aromatic white wine from Bodegas MA, blending the expressive charm of Verdejo with a hint of Sauvignon Blanc. Produced outside the Rueda DO, this cuvée offers a fresh and modern take on Spain’s signature white grape — lifted by Sauvignon’s zesty edge.
Vineyard & Vinification:
Grapes are harvested at night from sun-soaked vineyards to retain crisp acidity and vibrant aromatics. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, followed by a short maturation on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity. The touch of Sauvignon Blanc brings additional freshness and subtle floral lift.
