Finca Badenes is a family estate of 200 hectares in Jabalquinto, Jaen. Grandfather Matias bought the farm in 1965. Today the family cultivates four varieties -- Picual, Frantoio, Arbequina and Empeltre -- with the almazara (olive oil mill) and bottling facility in the heart of the property. The entire process happens within the estate.
This coupage brings together three of the four varieties grown on the farm. It is not a blend of convenience -- it is an assemblage designed with purpose. The Frantoio, an Italian variety rarely seen in Jaen, is what sets this blend apart: it adds a layer of complexity that a coupage made only with local varieties could never achieve.
This coupage combines three of the four varieties grown on the estate -- Frantoio, Picual and Arbequina -- each contributing very different nuances. Blending different varieties is truly an art: you need just the right proportion of each so they all express themselves equally. This coupage is a fine example of the art of combining varieties.
