Description
GRAPES FROM MONTESANCO ORGANIC VINEYARDS 100% Macabeo from trellised non irrigated 50-year-old vineyards in Finca Casa de la Viña (county Requena). Altitude 731 meters. Soil mix: Clay, humus. Yield: 2,5 Kg / vine. Date of harvest: The grapes were hand-picked at 6 am in the morning on September 17th. 10 days before, the vines were partially defoliated to increase the concentration of sugars.
VINIFICATION Following a second selection of the grapes at the winery, the grapes bunches are de-stemmed and introduced by gravity in an inox vat where we add carbonic snow and we keep the must in contact with the skins for 24 hours at low temperature. Once the flower must is clean it is racked in 500 liters of new oak barrels where it is fermented. Following the fermentation, the wine was racked with its own fine lees to an inox vat where “ bâtonnage” takes place and is made every 3 days During the fermentation and the following weeks. After three weeks, it has stayed until its bottling in February 2020.
TASTING NOTE:
• Colour: Pale yellow
• Nose: Predominance of fresh varietal notes with hints of citric notes and lactic and white flowers aromas.
• Mouth: With balanced acidity and unctuous sensations due to the aging on the lees. This is a wine with body and persistence with real nerve and character as well as a strong mineral streak
