This savory and elegant natural white wine is the result of an agricultural experiment by winemaker Saul Gil Berzal. On a small plot of mineral-rich soil, he’s taken grafts of his oldest vines  — some well over 100 years old — and planted them on different rootstocks to see which yields the best results for a given varietal. The resulting field blend from this vintage is filled with notes of fleshy white fruit, crushed pineapple, and wet stone. Dry and zesty, this is a great choice for shellfish or pasta dishes, especially oysters!  Organic, biodynamic, and sustainable. 

Gil Berzal

Bodega Gil Berzal is synonymous with family, its twin foundations being passion and respect toward the vineyard. Founded by the husband-and-wife team of Jose Luis Gil and Gloria Berzal, the estate stretches over 18 hectares of rocky, mineral rich chalk, sand, and clay soils in Rioja Alavesa, and utilizes a bohemian kind of viticulture that challenges the destructive progress of chemical techniques and industrialization.
