Finca Sandoval Aurora
A vibrant white wine with aromatic white flowers, orchard fruit, and a racy, mineral finish
Finca Sandoval `Aurora` from Manchuela, Spain, is a unique still white wine crafted from a field blend of lesser-known local varieties including Albilla Manchego, Amrisancho, Tortosí, and Trepadell. Co-fermented in French oak barrels and clay amphorae, then matured for 10 months, this dry wine reveals notes of almond, apricot, and white flowers on the nose. The palate offers vibrant orchard fruit character, supported by a good structure, racy acidity, and delicate minerality. Certified organic, vegan, and vegetarian, it pairs beautifully with lean fish, shellfish, or a variety of vegetarian dishes.
