The Designation of Origin Alicante is a wine region located in the province of Alicante, in the Valencian Community, Spain. Although it is known mainly for its red wines, it also produces high-quality white wines that deserve recognition. The white wines of the D.O. Alicante are the result of a combination of climatic and soil factors that give them unique characteristics. The region's Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, provides a favourable environment for growing white grape varieties.
Regarding the grape varieties used in the production of white wines in Alicante, the most common are Moscatel de Alejandría and Macabeo (also known as Viura). Muscat of Alexandria is an aromatic grape that brings floral and citrus notes to wines, while Macabeo is a more neutral grape that is often used in blends to add structure and balance.
The white wines of the D.O. Alicante are usually fresh, aromatic, and medium-bodied. They present a wide range of aromas and flavours that go from citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, to tropical fruits such as melon and pineapple. In addition, it is common to find herbaceous and floral nuances, especially in wines made with the Moscatel de Alejandría variety. In terms of structure and acidity, Alicante white wines usually have a balanced acidity that provides them with freshness and liveliness on the palate. Some producers also use barrel aging techniques to add complexity and texture to certain white wines, although this is not as common as in the region's red wines.
The white wines of the D.O. Alicante are versatile and can be enjoyed both alone and with a wide variety of dishes. They are excellent options for shellfish, fish, rice dishes and salads, since their freshness and fruit character complement these foods well.
In summary, the white wines of the D.O. Alicante are fresh, aromatic, and medium-bodied wines, with a wide range of flavours ranging from citrus to tropical fruits. They are the result of the climatic and soil conditions of the region and reflect the identity and quality of the wines produced in Alicante.
