OUR WINES
The Mesta was a powerful alliance of sheep ranchers in medieval Castile, who controlled the “cañadas”: traditional rights-of-way for migrating sheep. To this day, the “cañadas” are protected from being blocked or built upon. Our vineyards are nestled deep in the land of the Mesta, and are still passed over by flocks on their annual migration – an authentic reminder of ancient rights and a cultural cue for continuing co-existence with nature. Trough sustainable viticulture and respectful winemaking, we produce wines of great purity, reflecting the unique personality of our land.

Mesta Tempranillo rosado
An approachable but serious rosé wine, displaying great purity and typicity for the noble Tempranillo grape, in a lighter, more elegant style than most Spanish rosés. Pale strawberry colour, with intense and fresh berry aromas over subtle floral notes. Excellent concentration and a slightly off-dry finish, beautifully balanced by crisp acidity and a refreshing, savoury note. A perfect summer drink and a highly versatile food wine with pasta, rice dishes, vegetables and curries as well as stir-fried, spicier dishes.

Mesta Verdejo white
A crisp, aromatic white wine, showing great purity of aromas and a precise expression of the Verdejo grape. Bright, pale straw yellow, with intense, fresh notes of grass, fennel and white pepper. Dry but juicy on the palate, with excellent balance, a moderate alcohol of only 12,5% with a persistent, slightly mineral finish. Excellent as an aperitif and with pasta, salads, poultry and fish dishes.
