La Esencia

La Esencia by Raúl Moreno is a unique wine that blurs the line between red and white. Made from a blend of Tintilla, Palomino, Pedro Ximénez, and Arinto grapes, it comes from historic vineyards in Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and Pago Balbaina. The vines grow on albariza soils, known for their chalky texture, which adds a distinct freshness and minerality to the wine.

Fermented with whole bunches in handmade clay amphorae and aged partly in red clay and partly in stainless steel, La Esencia develops both depth and a lively character. Expect a wine that’s fruity, fresh, and lightly salty, with fine, chalky tannins. Though it looks like a light red or rosé, its structure and vibrant acidity give it the soul of a white wine.

Natural and unfiltered, La Esencia is crafted with minimal intervention. A genuine expression of the Jerez terroir, it’s an exciting choice for those looking to explore something different and authentic.
