Cocktail

As with some of our most emblematic wines, behind our new Cocktail there is a curious story.

Between the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, Manolo Fariña decided to plant different grape varieties experimentally. Among them there were native varieties, but also foreign ones, since the oenological trend of the time pointed in that direction.

Thus, we have small plots of red varieties, such as Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Mencía or Garnacha Tintorera, and different white varieties, such as Verdejo, Malvasía, various types of Moscatel, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Albariño...

Since they were small quantities, these white varieties have always been elaborated together, resulting in a very pleasant and complex wine, which in the winery we called “Cocktail” because it is a mixture of grape varieties. Every time that wine was tasted, the possibility of launching a unique wine on the market was discussed, something that for one reason or another was never carried out.

More than 40 years later, Manu Fariña, the next generation of the family, decides, encouraged by one of our most important distributors, to finally launch an elegant, original and refreshing wine on the market, designed for an audience that demands a quality product with those characteristics.

Cocktail, from Fariña, is a fresh, sweet and sparkling wine. It is especially suitable for a cocktail or aperitif, as an accompaniment to tapas or light dishes or not very sweet desserts.
