Bodega Cebreros, CebrerosEl Galayo White Orange 2023

Bodega Cebreros El Galayo White Orange 2023 is a distinctive skin-contact wine from the high-altitude vineyards of Cebreros, offering the freshness of a white wine with the structure and depth often associated with orange wines. Made with old-vine fruit and a patient, traditional vinification, it is an expressive, gastronomic bottle that reflects both the character of the region and the principles of sustainable production.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a clear golden-amber colour. Its expressive nose combines white flowers and ripe stone fruit with subtle nuances of dried fruit, creating an inviting and layered aromatic profile. On the palate, El Galayo is full-bodied and generously textured, with a creamy mouthfeel and an elegant, complex finish. Skin contact contributes depth and personality while retaining balance, making the wine powerful, versatile and food-friendly. It can be enjoyed now for its open, expressive character, while careful cellaring over the next few years should allow its dried-fruit and mineral nuances to develop further.

Production
The grapes come from old, high-altitude vineyards around Cebreros, where local growers work the land with respect for tradition and the environment. Harvesting is carried out by hand, with the fruit collected in 25 kg crates and cooled before destemming. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks with the skins, followed by 30 days of maceration and alcoholic fermentation. After pressing and racking, the wine matures on its lees for three months in concrete tanks, helping to build its creamy texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
Its combination of body, texture and freshness makes El Galayo a versatile partner for roasted or grilled poultry, pork, oily fish, shellfish and seafood stews. The wine also works particularly well with savoury vegetarian dishes, roasted root vegetables, mushrooms and mature cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C; decanting is not essential, but 20–30 minutes of air in a carafe can help reveal its aromatic depth and soften its structure.

Producer
Bodega Cebreros’ El Galayo project is dedicated to producing accessible yet characterful wines from old vineyards in the Cebreros area. The wines are made by local grape growers and supported by the technical expertise of SotoManrique, with an emphasis on sustainable bottling, respect for the soil and a clear expression of local varieties and terroir. El Galayo represents an honest, modern interpretation of the region while remaining firmly rooted in its agricultural traditions.
