An unoaked DO Almansa white from Bodegas Piqueras, named for the bodega's founder Luis Piqueras. Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc from high-altitude vineyards are picked at night in early September and rest a few months on fine lees. It is crisp and light, with lime, citrus zest and a touch of tropical fruit over a grassy, fennel-tinged Verdejo edge, and a clean, persistent finish. Made for drinking young and chilled, while the fruit is at its freshest.
