Forlong Blanco · Cádiz, Spain · 2024

The Moment

This is Atlantic white wine with attitude. Salty air, chalk dust on your hands, citrus squeezed fresh — a wine that feels like standing barefoot near the coast as weather rolls in. For curious drinkers who want energy, texture, and place in the glass.

What It Feels Like

Bright and crystalline in appearance, the wine opens with lime zest, green apple, and citrus splash, quickly expanding into peach, subtle banana, and tropical lift. Beneath the fruit sits a distinctly balsamic, herbal depth — notes of anise, aloe, thyme, and white flowers that signal both freshness and complexity.

On the palate, it’s agile and fluid, with a lightly glyceric texture that carries the fruit without weight. The defining character is sapidity — chalky, tactile minerality from Cádiz’s albariza and barajuela soils, finishing with a saline, sea-spray snap that keeps the wine vibrant and food-driven.

Perfect For

• Raw or simply grilled seafood

• Salty, briny dishes (anchovies, olives, bottarga)

• Mediterranean vegetables and herbs

• Sherry lovers looking for something dry, still, and exploratory

The Vibe Pairing

• Playlist energy: Coastal psych, Andalusian folk, lo-fi experimental

• Aura color: Chalk white, sea foam, citrus rind

• Time of day: Late afternoon → long coastal dinners

Why We Love It

Forlong Blanco sits at the crossroads of still wine, skin contact, and Atlantic terroir. It’s youthful, expressive, and unapologetically saline — a bottle that rewards attention but never feels heavy. A true sense-of-place wine that belongs firmly on the adventurous edge.
