The Consuelo from Alfredo Maestro is a macerated Albillo. The vines were planted between 1891 and 1910 and only 600 bottles were made this year. It is a super dry wine with interesting herbal, woody notes, perhaps hay. Yellow grapefruit and lime aromas and a beautiful salty minerality!

Alfredo Maestro
Natural wine the “Maestro” way
Alfredo Maestro, Spain’s “natural wine Rockstar” has risen to fame in the natural wine scene way beyond Spanish boarders. This comes as no surprise because in his case “Nomen est Omen”. The “Maestro” in his name speaks volumes of his skills in both his 9 hectares of vineyards and in the bodega, the wine cellar. His vineyards are located in Ribera del Duero, his home region in the province of Castilla-Leon in Northern Spain, and in Navalcarnero near Madrid. In both areas he grows and produces low intervention, organic, magnificent natural wines, with labels so original and funny, we like to keep the bottles on shelves just for decoration.
