Certified biodynamic, no-added-SO2 Verdejo that is squeaky clean and delicious, for this price? LOVE! A partnership between the Parra brothers and La Mancha’s top natural wine producer, Juan Antonio Ponce (aka The Prince of Bobal), the Friend & Farmer project began as a way to celebrate their home of La Mancha by raising biodynamically grown grapes and making high-quality, restrained wine at an approachable price point. This is a bright, refreshing and crisp everyday white, with lovely citrus and mineral notes, and a clean, oak-free finish. The most perfect house wine – stock up!
