This style of ageing leads to an enriching of new amino acids, particularly in mannoproteins, derived from the breakdown of the remaining yeast, conferring the wine with an abundance of tertiary aromas.

Tasting notes

 

 

Calm, serenely youthful, creamy, fresh, reminiscent of pastry (Jorge Raventos, Sommelier) “Shiny straw-coloured, withering flowers aroma, dried herbs,fruit,wood. Strong palette,tasty,meaty,seasoning,long” (Guia Penin de los Vinos de Spain 2012) 

 

Serving Suggestions    

 

 

We suggest it as an aperitif wine, with fish and shellfish prepared in different ways. Thanks to its moderate acidity, complexity and textures, this wine is ideal with uncooked shellfish (oysters) as well as with seafood prepared in the oven, grilled or fried. We also recommend it with starters of smoked and marinated fish, and fresh goats’ cheese. Serve temperature: 8o-10oC
