## About this wine

Bodega en Movimiento was founded in 2020 by sommelier Marta Garcia Luceno and Ana Hernandez Perez in Sanlucar de Barrameda. It stands out as a unique female-led estate in the Marco de Jerez region, crafting natural wines from historic vineyard plots outside the traditional D.O. system. By working with old vines planted in iconic chalky albariza soils, the winery emphasizes minimal intervention, native heritage grapes, and historical sparkling winemaking techniques.

## Interesting facts

- It is crafted by the only entirely female-run winery in the Marco de Jerez region.
- Combines Palomino and Moscatel grown on historic chalky white Albariza soils.
- Disgorged entirely by hand bottle-by-bottle with zero added sulfites.

## Food pairing

The crisp acidity and natural effervescence cut effortlessly through rich fried foods and creamy cheeses. A faint touch of natural residual sugar harmonizes beautifully with fresh seafood, light citrus glazes, and mild artisanal goat cheeses.

## Wine making process

Crafted via the Ancestral Method (Pet-Nat), grapes are 100% destemmed and gently pressed using a traditional vertical wooden press. Spontaneous fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled without added sugar or commercial yeast before fermentation completes. After six months of aging on fine lees inside the bottle, it is disgorged by hand bottle-by-bottle without fining, filtration, or added sulfites.
