General Information
White is the simplest way to show something complex. It also represents the lime of the houses and intense light. La Mancha in its purest form.
CALA N.2, aged for three winters in 225L old French barrels, stands out for the perfect integration of the aromas of production and aging with the primary aromas from the grape, very present. Thus, its terroir wine character and its unique estate wine values are emphasized. Its long aging in old French barrels achieves a balanced wine, avoiding excessive wood flavours.
