The result is a wine that shines with Mediterranean warmth and wild elegance. Aromas of thyme, rosemary, and dried esparto grass mingle with floral notes, red currant, and subtle hints of forest floor. On the palate, Les Passeres is silky, light-bodied, and aromatic, revealing graceful fruit tones layered with herbal complexity and a lingering mineral finish. Despite its lightness, it reflects the ripeness of the 2022 vintage—sun-kissed yet balanced by natural acidity.
Les Passeres 2022 – Alicante DOP “Alicante Singular”
A limited-production gem from biodynamically farmed Arcos (50%) and Monastrell (50%), Les Passeres 2022 captures the balance of Alicante’s sunlight and soil. The vines, dry-farmed at 560 meters, grow in clayey-silt terrain above the Vinalopó River, a site that provides both freshness and mineral depth.
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts is followed by four months in ceramic amphorae and three months in used French oak, a delicate aging process that polishes texture while preserving aromatic vitality.
