<< Previous wine    Next wine >>

While most sparkling wines typically come from the warmer Mediterranean climate of Penedès in Catalonia, 'Rogo Blanc de Blancs' is a unique sparkling wine hailing from Spain's western Extremadura region near the Atlantic Ocean. This area has a distinctive terroir characterized by clay soils and the moderating effect of the ocean, resulting in wines with a vibrant and fresh character. Crafted by Vinos del Atlántico, in collaboration with the López Morenas family who own the largest vineyard acreage in the region, all of which is women-owned, this sparkling wine has a delicate and fresh profile. As depicted on the label, Rogo Blanc de Blancs embodies the elegance of the southern Atlantic terroir.
