The crunch of sun-kissed fruit!
Robert Parker 88/100Made from 100% Spanish maccabeo grapes (also known as malvoisie in the Aude department), the Aragon hillsides of the Calatayud appellation provide an ideal terroir for its expression, Las Rocas Blanco is one of Bodegas San Alejandro's flagship wines. It is distinguished by a remarkable aromatic intensity, with white flowers mixed with notes of tropical fruit. Well-balanced between alcoholic strength and acidity, it's a fresh, pleasant, sun-drenched wine to drink now, in its prime.
