Details
This sparkling orange wine shows a fragrant mix of yellow apple, ripe peach, nectarine, and honeydew melon, with honeyed and honeysuckle notes and hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. Dry with bright acidity, it has a frothy, lively mousse that quickly gives way to a creamy texture, leaving a long, honeyed finish with subtle chamomile and savoury touches. It's elegant, refreshing, and beautifully balanced.

Bodegas Fernando Castro is a family story steeped in history and tradition, beginning in 1850 when the Castros first nurtured their vineyards in Santa Cruz de Mudela, Castilla-La Mancha. From humble artisanal beginnings, Juan Manuel Castro Corredor brought their wines to Madrid via the famous “Wine Train,” and soon their creations reached distant shores, from Cuba to the Philippines. Over the decades, the family’s dedication and passion transformed these lands into a home for exceptional wines, blending the timeless rhythms of tradition with a bold vision for innovation. Today, their wines grace tables in over 80 countries, carrying the spirit of Castilla-La Mancha with every sip. Modern Bodegas Fernando Castro is a harmonious blend of heritage and innovation. It's 380 hectares of sun-drenched vineyards, nurtured at 705 meters above sea level, that produce grapes of remarkable intensity, elegance, and aromatic power. The winery’s state-of-the-art facilities - spacious stainless steel tanks, oak ageing cellars, and sustainable practices - allow their wines to express the soul of the land while embracing the future. From organic and vegan wines to sparkling and non-alcoholic creations, each bottle tells a story of passion, patience, and a deep connection to the earth, making Bodegas Fernando Castro a true jewel of La Mancha.

Pairing guide
This sparkling orange wine pairs beautifully with lightly spiced dishes and fresh, vibrant flavours. Try it with pan-seared scallops, grilled white fish with a citrus salsa, or roasted root vegetables to highlight its honeyed fruit and delicate savoury notes. It also works wonderfully with creamy vegan risottos, pumpkin or squash tarts, and mild, nutty cheeses, offering a lovely balance between the wine’s frothy texture, bright acidity, and lingering honeyed finish.

Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
La Mancha is a wine region in Spain known for its hot and dry climate, high altitude vineyards, and significant grape production the top sub-regions are Almansa, Jumilla, and Manchuela, each with its own unique wine styles. The terroir across these regions can be characterized by the high chalk content of its soil, which helps to retain moisture during the arid summers. The top wine styles produced in La Mancha are primarily red wines made from the Tempranillo grape, including the well-known Crianza and the top tier Reserva styles, as well as Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. However, the region also produces some white wines made from the fruity Airen grape, which is a native varietal of La Mancha and one of the most widely planted white grape varieties in the world.
