VIBRATIONS
Dry orange wine
Vibrations is our meditative moment; complex, dry, tropical, spicy, without losing the salinity and elegance of the albariza; a surprise from the known records of the palomino grape. The grapes come from Miraflores Alta, an abandoned plot that we were able to recover and which is located in the most valued part of this historic estate, facing west, towards the ocean, and with lustrillos and lentejuelas soils at a depth of two metres. 2016 was vinified in an amontillado butt, giving it a unique character. In the following vintages it has been vinified in French oak barrels.

| Winemaking | Destemmed by hand, macerated for 5 days, pressed by hand and vinified in used Bordeaux barrels for 11 months with all its lees. Destemmed with calcium bentonite. Bottled unfiltered. |
| Production | 300-600 bottles/year |
| Analysis | 5-15mg/l free sulphur. |
Opinions
José Peñín (Peñín Guide)
“Lumière 2021: Full-bodied, fatty, complex, with refreshing acidity and evocation of chalk, wild herbs and fallow straw (99 points)”.”
James Suckling (James Suckling Guide)
«Elixir 2025 (96 points) is among the 100 best Spanish wines of 2024. A pure Moscatel de Chipiona with aromas of orange blossom and brine, as well as hints of ginger. Medium-bodied, luminous and energetic, with a delicate saline profile».
Luis Gutierrez (Robert Parker)
“Lumiere 2022 is the one with the most purity, elegance and subtlety; very good intensity, precise, clean and detailed (95+ Parker points).”
Jancis Robinson (Financial Times)
«It is tempting to wonder which wines that are being launched on the market can develop a great reputation, and even become cult wines. I would like to name the Andalusian wines of Muchada-Léclapart».»
Dan Keeling (Noble Rot, England)
«Far from modern ‘technical’ winemaking, Muchada learned his trade from the humble older winegrowers of Sanlúcar, achieving together with Leclapart his ‘Univers’ and ‘Lumière’: pure and saline wines (both in the Top five)».»
Darren Smith. Decanter (England)
«Muchada dedicates great effort to agriculture, learning from the old generation of Sanlúcar winegrowers to produce Palomino of the highest quality, which he masterfully transforms into the purest and most crystalline wines (97 points).»
Sarah Jeans Evans. Master of Wine (England)
«The advantage is that without the usual flor or solera influence you can taste the terroir... A delicately honeyed wine with drops of jasmine and a clean, saline finish.»
Rene Langdahl. Journalist (Denmark)
«Can a landscape, a state of mind, be best described by a meticulous and naturalistic artistic reproduction? I doubt it, but they are impressionists. They have transferred to the bottle the mad glow of the chalk-white grounds under a cloudless sky, but soothed by the seagulls and the breeze...
