Termes Blanco is an exclusive organic white wine made predominantly from the Malvasía grape variety. This release represents Numanthia winery's debut in the production of white wine.

Bodegas Numanthia is renowned for its preservation of the Tinta de Toro grape and managing some of the world's oldest vines, which range from 30 to 200 years of age.

The winery boasts a historic estate of 150 hectares spread across the region, situated on both banks of the river Duero. These pre-phylloxera vineyards, sculpted by time and ungrafted, have miraculously survived decades of extreme weather, enduring harsh winters and scorching summers.

The remarkably resilient vines grow in sandy, stony soil, which forces their roots to extend to great depths in search of water and nutrients. All this, combined with a careful selection of the finest grapes of the star variety par excellence, Tinta de Toro, and meticulous craftsmanship, enables the production of great wines of extraordinary finesse, character, and complexity.

Production:

It is made mainly from the Malvasía Castellana grape variety, along with a small proportion of Albillo Real and Verdejo.

The grapes are harvested by hand, with a selection of bunches carried out in the vineyard. Temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine matures for 5 months in first-year French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes:

Straw-yellow in colour, clear and bright. On the nose, it opens with a rich range of aromas, predominantly notes of white and stone fruits, combined with citrus notes and floral and honeyed touches. On the palate, it is refined with subtle floral nuances and honeyed and spicy notes.
