Description
VINIFICATION: Once the grapes arrive at the winery, the bunches are manually selected one by one. The whole bunches are gently pressed with a pneumatic press, taking care at all times to prevent the juice from contacting oxygen. The resulting must is immediately cooled to below 10°C and left in the stainless steel tank for 24 hours. After this, the clear liquid is racked off, separating it from the lees. Fermentation with natural yeasts is made at below 15°C of temperature. 100% of the total volume of this wine ferments in NEW specially selected French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES: Yellow color with greenish glints. The nose is floral and fruity, with some citrus notes. Light hints of tobacco and vanilla emerge in the glass after a few minutes. The palate is fresh and well balanced. The ever-present acidity makes this a persistent wine with fine volume.
Mouth with mild pyrazine notes and berries. Wood presence in complete communion with the wine, varietal is not covered. Smooth entry and finish, with good concentration and structure. Is an elegant and intense wine.
PAIRING: It is great for the best gastronomic pairings.
