About Raúl Moreno La Retahila

Several centuries ago, prior to the arrival of phylloxera, the perruna grape was among the most widely cultivated varieties in the Marco de Jerez region, in southern Spain. Today, it is much less commonly grown, yet with some luck, one can still find a few centenarian vineyards that have survived, such as the one in Trebujena (northwest of the province of Cádiz), where Raúl Moreno has ventured to craft Raúl Moreno La Retahila, one of the few pasture wines made from this variety.
 
The barajuelas albariza will be the cornerstone upon which Raúl Moreno La Retahila revolves. Traditionally, this soil has been regarded as the purest among the albarizas, allowing extensive root growth due to its layered structure, thus not only enhancing resilience to climatic conditions (particularly the summer drought) but also imparting a remarkable character that enables the production of exceptional wines for ageing. Although harvesting in this area typically occurs in early August, the perruna (noted for its pronounced acidity) is not handpicked until September. And if the terroir of Raúl Moreno La Retahila is a spectacle, just wait until we tell you how it is crafted.
 
Whole grapes, unstemmed, foot-trodden, and subjected to three weeks of pre-fermentation maceration (with five-minute hand pigeages twice daily) are among the details that make this wine so special. Raúl Moreno La Retahila ferments using indigenous yeasts, is pressed, and then left to rest in old chestnut barrels (previously used for amontillado) and cement vats, where the renowned veil of flor will emerge.
 
In the wines of Raúl Moreno, the name is never a mere coincidence. Each one is a true reflection of the character of the liquid that each bottle secretly encloses. And with Raúl Moreno La Retahila, the Sevillian winemaker has once again hit the mark. Rest assured, after tasting it, you won't be able to get Raúl Moreno La Retahila out of your mind.
2022
Raúl Moreno La Retahila 2022 is a light and subtly aromatic orange wine. On the nose, it is distinguished by notes of orange peel, nectarines, and apricots, interwoven with hints of almonds, honey, and exotic spices. On the palate, it offers a highly concentrated savoury and saline character, with a texture reminiscent of suspended sand. Its complexity and defined profile render it intriguing and refreshing, showcasing a remarkable personality that sets it apart from any other white wine from southern Spain.
