Oh Sister Blanco

Intensely aromatic: pineapple, apricots and mango. Delicate entry on the palate with a very refreshing acidity and an energetic and lively mid palate.

Ruth de Andres trained as a Chemist in Sheffield and was just about to embark on her PhD when she realised that she couldn’t bear the thought of spending another chunk of her life in a lab, so she returned to Spain and quickly fell in love with winemaking. She studied there, then moved to Bordeaux where she completed her degree and worked Pascal Ribéreau-Gayon and Michel Rolland at Chateau Pape Clement. Returning to Spain once again she began a five year stint with Bodegas Torres before going on to manage a number of boutique wineries and then launched Aleavini with her sister Ana.
