Pérez Barquero, G1 sparkling wine 0.75l

A dry sparkling wine, Brut Nature (a dry style with no residual sugar), made using the traditional method of bottle fermentation (méthode traditionnelle / champenoise), but with the unique element of using the autochthonous yeast (levadura) "G1" from Montilla‑Moriles, originally isolated from the velo de flor (flor yeast layer).

Awards:
92 points – Robert Parker

Grape variety:
The wine is made from 100% Pedro Ximénez, a traditional white variety from the region.

Vineyard and soil:
The grapes come from vineyards in D.O. Montilla‑Moriles, particularly from albariza soils (a pale, chalky, limestone-rich soil), which provides good conditions for ripening Pedro Ximénez and gives the wine a mineral character.

Production:
The second fermentation takes place in the bottle using the champenoise method with the autochthonous yeast "G1", a unique technical achievement developed together with researchers from the University of Córdoba (Vitenol group). The dosage liqueur is made from older fortified wines (generosos), which gives the wine its distinctive character.

Taste and aroma:
The wine presents a pale yellow colour with delicate green highlights, a clean, bright appearance and very fine bubbles. The aroma is fresh and expressive, with notes of white fruit (such as ripe apple), light yeasty and toasty notes from the second fermentation in the bottle. On the palate it is light, balanced and fresh, with a long, elegant and subtly saline finish.

Food pairing:
G1 Brut Nature is highly food-friendly and versatile. It works as an aperitif and also with seafood, fish, tapas or light desserts. We recommend serving it chilled, around 6–7 °C, so its freshness and mineral nuances are fully expressed.

Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.

What makes it special:
G1 Brut Nature is the result of research and innovation. It is the first sparkling wine produced in the Montilla‑Moriles region, using the autochthonous yeast "G1", which comes directly from the local velo de flor layer typical of Montilla‑Moriles. This original yeast ensures the wine carries an authentic expression of terroir and a distinctive aromatic complexity, while the second fermentation in the bottle creates fine, elegant bubbles.
Thanks to the "velo de flor" the wine has a dry, fresh character with light notes of nuts, almonds and a subtle spicy undertone, giving it a unique combination of local tradition, the minerality of volcanic soil, and refined effervescence found only in this region.
