The 6 Soils of Wine

The land changes everything. Here are 6 ways to taste it.

Some wines tell stories… and then there are wines that tell where they come from. Because it’s not the same to grow on slate as on sand; it’s not the same to root in limestone as in volcanic ash. The land has a voice, and this pack is made to listen.

Six wines, six soils, six personalities. A selection for those who enjoy comparing, learning, and travelling with a glass. The idea is simple: open the bottles, taste, and let each soil speak.

1. Casa Castillo · La Tendida 2023 — Limestone soil

Limestone brings freshness, tension and a beautiful sense of verticality.

La Tendida 2023 shows an elegant, clean Mediterranean style, with precise fruit and a serene depth.

2. Madremía 2023 — Sandy soil

Sandy soils create aromatic, delicate, fine‑tannined wines…

But in Toro, that delicacy coexists with the natural power of Tinta de Toro and its extreme climate. Madremía is juicy, direct and aromatic, balanced between strength and freshness.

3. Les Pissarres 2022 — Slate soil

Slate heats, cools, stresses the vine and concentrates character.

Les Pissarres 2022 is Priorat in its purest form: mineral, deep, slightly smoky and vibrantly energetic.

4. El Grifo Malvasía Seco 2024 — Volcanic soil

Volcanic soils are unmistakable: salinity, smokiness, texture and landscape.

This Malvasía from Lanzarote is identity in a glass: aromatic, tense, sober and fascinating.

5. Mas Collet — Clay soil

Clay brings volume, generous fruit and soft tannins.

Mas Collet is a round, Mediterranean red with warmth and smoothness from the very first sip.

6. Menade Verdejo 2025 — Stony / alluvial soil

Stony soils offer freshness, purity and very precise fruit.

Menade 2025 is vibrant, clean and aromatic, a Verdejo that shines for its clarity and tension.
