In the late 1990’s, Toni Sarrion began a one man crusade to save the indigenous variety Bobal and coax it from obscurity and rusticity to the forefront of truly world class wines.  The Vino de Pago El Terrerazo was granted to Mustiguillo in 2010 - a part of the Grandes Pagos de España organization that is dedicated to upholding and promoting very high quality single estate wines.. At an altitude of 800-824 meters, the estate is comprised of 89 hectares of contiguous vineyards on primarily limestone soils. The climate is Mediterranean with a strong continental influence with drastic diurnal shifts in temperature and contrasting winds from the sea to the east and hot La Mancha to the west. 

The Mestizaje Blanco is a blend of 61% Merseguera, 15% Malvasia, 16% Xarello & 8% Viognier. From the almost lost indigenous variety, Merseguera, these estate vines are grown organically at Finca Calvestra, at over 900 meters altitude. These vines were grafted onto existing Bobal vines (of over 40 years) where the Bobal could not reach maturity due to the altitude.
