Fatum white is composed of 80% Airen, an autochthonous variety of La Mancha blended with 15% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Moscatel sourced from 30 year old vines. These vines are farmed in a traditional/sustainable manner with practically no chemical input. The wine is elaborated using the best grapes, carefully chosen for balance and acidity. Cold maceration as whole grapes lasted for 12 hours to extract aromas, followed by pressing and fermentation which took place at 16°C in stainless steel tanks.

FOR THE 2015 VINTAGE
The entry-level white 2015 Fatum Blanco is a blend of 50% Airén (the local white from La Mancha), 35% Macabeo (or Viura) and 15% Sauvignon Blanc from different vineyards in places like La Roda or Pozoamargo. After a 12-hour cold soak, the grapes fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and was kept in contact with the lees, which were regularly stirred for three months. It’s a fresh, young, clean and straightforward white with a grey-ish, steely color and a waxy and slightly balsamic nose. 20,000 bottles were filled on February 2016
