Pasotismo Blanco. A passion project six years in the making.
Ever since we embarked on the Pasotismo project we’ve wanted to make a top tier white wine. A wine with elegance and finesse balancing complexity and body with a lightness of touch that only the very best whites have. It took us years to find the right path but since discovering indigenous grapes on our doorstep we haven’t looked back.
Here’s what you
need to know.
Grapes - Chardonnay, alcañon, macabeo.
Pairing - It feels like such a cop out to say this is a wine to be drunk on its own, but I really do believe this is a rare example of a Paso wine built for noodling. Maybe serve it with a bowl of salted almonds, but always drink it by the glass first.
Style - An electric white with immediate elegance and finesse followed by a depth of flavour that belies its alcohol level.
Moment - It’s so good as a the wine in the night where you really want to take your time and luxuriate in what you’re drinking.
Insight - This is the wine that takes the most time to blend in the cellar. We always give ourselves as much room after harvest as possible by making a tonne of small batch wines from across our vineyards. Early picks, late picks, different processing, different maturation styles, as much variation as we can. And then when we’re ready we start working through the options to create our final wine. We’re always looking for the option that lives up to our goal of making a top tier white that has character and personality whilst maintaining freshness and direction. It’s not easy in the Spanish heat to make whites that live up to this expectation which is why we’re so proud of Pasotismo Blanco. It’s a wine like no other.
