What a surprising bubble! This Las Olas del Melillero Sparkling Rosé bubble from top winery Victoria Ordonez has a beautiful light pink color and has delicate aromas of red fruit and flowers. The wine is dry with a balanced acidity and roundness due to aging on the yeast in the barrels. An exciting combination of the complexity of the old Pedro Ximenez grapes and the light and elegant red aromas of the Petit Verdot , Tempranillo and Shiraz . A delicious wine, served cool as an aperitif and also wonderful in combination with fish, seafood, salmon, sushi and rice dishes and desserts. This Spanish champagne is blissfully dry with no measurable sugar values, so plenty of fruit.

The vineyards are located in the Montes de Málaga Natural Park. The Pedro Ximenez grapes come from small plots between 30 and 100 years old, and the Petit Verdot, Syrah and Tempranillo vines were planted in the 90s in the historic Finca La Fresneda. The dry-grown mountain vineyards lie at an altitude between 800 and 1,000 meters, have an extremely steep topography, with slopes between 46 and 76%. This requires manual labor using age-old winemaking techniques. So no machine is involved. All grapes are picked by hand in boxes of 9 kg and transported with mules. Due to these special circumstances, the yields are very low (900-1000 kg / ha), but the concentration of the berry is optimal to make the best quality wines.

Victoria Ordoñez born and raised in Malaga is no stranger to the wine world. She went looking in the mountains of Malaga for lost and authentic vineyards (from both the Moscatel and the Ximenez vineyards) and started in 2015 to turn these authentic grapes into (fantastic) wines again and these will be wines that notice must be taken into account. They are currently in many a Michelin restaurant. The only problem is that only a very limited number of bottles are made because the vineyards are very small.
