La Raspa Blanco
Muscat of Alexandria and Doradilla

MEDITERRANEAN SPIRIT. FUN, FRESH AND SALINE.

Viticulture

La Raspa Blanco is our “county wine”. The grapes come from the youngest vineyards in the lowlands and from some vineyards at more than 600 m in altitude facing south.The soils are mostly schists and black phyllites.

Varieties

Muscat of Alexandría: The queen of the Axarquía, also known as Muscat of Málaga. Considered one of the oldest surviving castes that remain genetically unmodified. It stands out for its great aromatic and freshness potential.

Doradilla: Native to Malaga, with very little planted area. It is a variety with subtle aromas that provides volume and very interesting saline touches.

Harvest

The harvest is done by hand using small boxes that are loaded onto the mules which carry them up the steep slopes of the vineyards. As a peculiarity of Axarquía, each bunch is checked in the vineyard and placed in the box with the stems facing up. Looking for a fresh wine, the Muscat is picked first, while the Doradilla, with a longer cycle, is harvested a few weeks later.

Winemaking

Each of the varieties is fermented separately and spontaneously in small steel tanks. Once the fermentation is complete it is blended and aged for 5 months in concrete vats on its lees.
