Background

History

Felix Solis is a long standing family-run winery in Spain, dating back to 1952. Today, four brothers, Felix, Pedro, Juan Antonio and Manuel maintain the quality and reputation of the company throughout the world and remain focused on producing high quality wines which represent Spain. With state of the art wineries in Valdepeñas and La Mancha, two important Spanish wine growing regions, Felix Solis is one of the principal exporters of Spanish wine in the world.

Winemaking details

Antolin Gonzalez makes this fruity white wine from the careful selection of Airén grapes. Noted for being incredibly resistant to the intense drought of the Valdepeñas region, Airén is one of Spain’s most planted varieties. Once picked, fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures to concentrate the naturally fresh and fruity flavours of the grapes. To finish, the wine is delicately filtered and the resultant wine is pale lemon yellow in colour, light and fruity on the palate with moderate acidity and good balance.

Regional info

Valdepeñas is an important wine region in central Spain noted for being a challenging place for growing grapes due to the arid climate. As a result, vines have to be resistant to high temperatures and able to survive without water for long periods. Winemakers need to be skilled and sympathetic in order to extract the fine balance of fruit, acidity and body from the grapes. Felix Solis winery, having undergone significant expansion over recent decades, boasts the largest automated, air-conditioned wine warehouse in Europe, perfect for ensuring the optimum temperatures for extracting the elegant, fruity flavours of Viña Albali Fruity White.
