Exam Notes

Color: Citrus-colored with a slight straw hue.

Aroma: Wine with mineral, fruity and floral aromas on the palate.

Taste: On the palate it is also mineral and presents itself as very fresh, structured, with volume and a balanced finish. With time it may develop some toasted and tea notes. The structure, delicacy and volume of Encruzado are present, as well as its freshness and vegetal character typical of the terroir and grape variety.

Pairing: This is a gastronomic wine that can accompany various types of dishes, such as seafood, all fish dishes, or even lighter meat dishes and cheeses.

Service: Serve at 10ºC

Storage: Bottles should be stored horizontally in a dark, clean, well-ventilated place with normal, moderate temperature and constant humidity conditions.

Winemaking: The harvest is done by hand, and the grapes are transported to the winery in small boxes. This is followed by total destemming, cold crushing, pressing, and decantation in stainless steel tanks at low temperature. The completely cleared must is then transferred to other stainless steel tanks where it ferments at a controlled temperature of around 15°C until all sugars are exhausted. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is sulfited. A few days later, it is transferred to another stainless steel tank and remains there for a few months with light "batonnage" on fine lees. When preparing for bottling, it undergoes only a light fining with mineral agents and then filtration immediately before bottling to preserve its full aromatic potential.

Aging: Due to the characteristics of the grape variety and winemaking processes, we have a white wine that can be drunk now but also has good aging potential in the bottle, where it will increase its complexity on the palate and nose.
