White Wine
Habla del Mar is the only underwater wine that ferments in the sea at a depth of 15 metres in the Bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
HABLA DEL MAR… is not just a wine; it is a sensory experience that challenges the norms of traditional winemaking. A revolutionary concept born from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, in the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where this underwater wine comes to life. More than just innovation, it is a statement of intent from Bodegas HABLA, a bold commitment to creativity and the exploration of new frontiers in the world of wine.
Crafted from a carefully selected blend of white grape varieties from the Atlantic coast, this wine is the result of the expertise and passion of HABLA’s winemakers. Its unique essence is shaped in two phases: a first fermentation in the winery and a second, truly exceptional, fermentation at the bottom of the sea. It is in this underwater environment that the wine develops its unmistakable character, with a delicate saline touch that enhances its freshness.
This pioneering underwater fermentation system, patented in Spain, transforms the wine’s morphology, giving it unique organoleptic properties. Sealed in hermetic tanks resting on the seabed, the natural carbon dioxide generated during fermentation remains trapped within the wine, subtly integrating into its structure. This process gives it a gentle effervescence, adding vibrancy and complexity to its profile.
When it resurfaces, HABLA DEL MAR… is filtered and bottled as quickly as possible to preserve its freshness and that distinctive sparkling touch that makes it so unique. Every sip is a journey to the ocean, a dive into the flavours of the Atlantic, and a tribute to the innovative spirit of Bodegas HABLA.
When observing the wine in the glass, we are greeted by a brilliant lemon-yellow colour with subtle steely reflections. This radiant hue is the first hint of the vibrancy and freshness that awaits, reflecting the unique origin of its fermentation beneath the sea.
With a delicate fragrance, its aroma evokes the essence of the ocean breeze, reminiscent of the salty air that lingers on the skin. An initial saline note, reminiscent of seafood, gives way to the vegetal character typical of certain algae species. These marine nuances intertwine with the ripe sweetness of quince and the floral delicacy of chamomile.
On the palate, this wine fully expresses itself, with an effervescence that, although fleeting in the glass, delivers an impression of freshness and dynamism upon first contact. The bubbles appear elegantly, providing a sparkling touch that invigorates the palate, setting the stage for the symphony of flavours that follows. Its marked acidity serves as a fundamental pillar of its structure, offering a freshness that echoes marine minerality and the energy of the waves. This acidity intertwines with saline notes and a subtle yet unexpected sweetness, counterbalancing the freshness with a hint of richness that adds depth and body. This unique combination results in a creamy texture, gently caressing the palate and leaving a pleasant and seductive sensation
