Vinification
Grapes undergo maceration on skins for 24 hours in 1000 litre amphora before spontaneous fermentation begins. Once completed, Flor develops on the surface of the wine, producing a veil that protects and transforms the wine during its two years of aging in amphora. This type of aging enriches and improves the flavour characteristics, but requires periodic and careful monitoring of the analytical and sensory parameters. The wine is naturally protected from oxidation and the astringency of the wine decreases during aging on the lees, new aromas are developed and the aromatic persistence in the wine is increased.
Flavour profile
This serious dry white wine offers a complex aromatic profile of vibrant lemon, grapefruit, and pear, complemented by notes of sourdough, almonds, butter, and a hint of spice. The palate is fresh and refined, showcasing a unique saline texture and persistent finish.
Serving recommendation
