    From NATURAL FARMING. Second certified ORGANIC ANCESTRAL wine, although this doesn't change the product in any way; it remains as natural as before, with no additives. Made from 75-year-old AIRÉN vines. Vintage 2020. Dry sparkling wine, based on residual sugars (between 17 and 35 g/L). Made using ANCESTRAL PRODUCTION METHODS. Only FREE-RANGE MUST is used in its production. Aged for over 12 months on its lees.

  • Tasting and pairing

    Fresh and sweet fruits. It pairs well with all kinds of desserts or sweets, creamy rice dishes... although it's all a matter of taste...

  • Additional information

    75cl bottle of sparkling wine with a natural cork stopper and two washers. This is quite possibly the most natural wine on the market. It comes from the utmost respect for the ENVIRONMENT (NATURAL FARMING) as a way of claiming excellence in wine through the wisest oenology… MOTHER NATURE. The vineyard, where the wine is truly made, is 75 years old and has not received any treatment for over 33 years… not even fertilizer. It is, however, lovingly tended with meticulous handwork, interacting with the vineyard with the best intentions: clearing, green pruning, digging around each vine, all by hand and, of course, without any mechanical tillage. Selective, hand-harvesting takes place at night to ensure greater freshness of the grapes and a slower fermentation. At LAGAR QUIXOTE, our facilities are spotless so that when the grapes arrive at dawn, everything is ready, allowing us to crush the grapes and use only the best free-run juice (mosto libre). At the winery, we don't add or filter anything... we try not to interfere with the natural yeasts. The must is then placed in stainless steel tanks to begin fermentation, and before fermentation is complete, it is bottled with a stainless steel cap. This process took place before the end of 2020, and the 470 bottles have been aging on their lees for over 12 months. Afterward, the bottles are disgorged and the corks are sealed. Inside the wire cage that holds the cork, there is a plaque with the winery's logo and the phrase "Ecológico Ancestral II 2020 Covid" (referring to 2020 being the year of Covid in Spain). These months, spent in the silence and darkness of the Lagar Quixote cellar, impart exceptional aromas and flavors to the wine, sweetened in this case by the residual sugars from natural fermentation. It is surely the most natural and exceptional wine on the market, thanks to the natural environment that bestows it upon us, which we have inherited from our parents and which we have a duty to pass on to our children in the best possible condition. We hope that it embodies the best intentions of offering an exceptional wine in complete harmony with the environment. Because it contains nothing added and is so natural, it is a wine that is better suited to people with migraines or other health problems.
