This wine reflects the terroir of this area of the **DO Manchuela** and only **5,000 bottles** have been produced. **Finca Los Halcones** is located in a privileged area. Its vineyards – **all organic** – are located in the **Cabriel Valley**, between the valleys of the rivers **Júcar** and **Cabriel**, an area declared **Biosphere Reserve** by UNESCO. This unique environment of Mediterranean forest has pines, oaks, junipers, thyme and rosemary, being integrated into a wine landscape located at **700 meters of altitude** with the Mediterranean as a horizon just 100 km. The family has **12 hectares** of the variety **Sauvignon Blanc**, but for the production of this white wine they have only selected **2 hectares** located in the highest areas of **Finca Los Halcones**. **Rocío Tolosa**, young winemaker of the winery and **fifth generation** of this family dedicated to wine, has made this wine with his father **Juan Miguel**. For them, ‘this wine is an example of the great and different wines that the land of Manchuela gives and how well adapted this white variety is to these limestone soils’. **The Sauvignon Blanc Falcons 2022** has gone through a careful elaboration process: - After fermentation, it performed the **crianza on its fine lees** for **5 months in concrete tanks** to gain complexity. - Subsequently, it spent **4 more months in the bottle** before going on the market. This wine, **ecological and vegan**, stands out for its **complex aroma**, the result of the two harvests carried out: - The **first harvest**, earlier, is carried out in a part of the vineyard to achieve a good acidity. - The **second harvest**, carried out 3 or 4 weeks later, allows more mature grapes to be obtained. This technique gives the wine a unique balance, with **ripe fruit aromas and mineral touches**, a balanced acidity and the characteristic minerality of limestone soils. **Vega Tolosa** owns more than **300 hectares of vineyards** in the **Protected Designation of Origin Manchuela**, of which **12 hectares** are intended for the white variety **Sauvignon Blanc** and a **30 %** to the red variety **Bobal**. The family also has the oldest **vineyards of the denomination**, some older than **110 years**, although the official record confirms 80 years. **PVP:** 16€ **Information Notes:** Vega Tolosa is located in **Casas Ibáñez (Albacete)**. They are **five generations of winegrowers** who continue their work for the love of their land. They produce the red wines **Los Halcones** and **Bobal Icon**, as well as the white wines **Chardonnay**, **Viognier** and **Sauvignon Blanc**. The winery has recovered old vineyards of **Albillo** and **Tardana** for wines that will come out soon. Since **2018**, they also produce sparkling wines following the traditional method, with the varieties **Chardonnay** and **Bobal**.
