This wine presents an excellent, intriguing, and complex bouquet, marked by an array of aromas including rotten fruits, honey, chamomile, oil, the white fat stripes of Jamon, and pear. The palate enjoys a long aftertaste that evolves beautifully, revealing flavours of bruised apples, nuts, Jerez, and candied fruits, reminiscent of an oxidized still Champagne. Notably, it also features nicely integrated tannins, adding to its complexity. This multilayered and delicious wine is persistent on the palate, striking a balance with moderate funkiness.
Located at an elevation of 190 meters above sea level, this wine is produced from 35-40 year-old vines. The vinification process involves wild yeasts and no temperature control, with 50% direct pressing and 50% undergoing short maceration. It's aged for 14 months under flor and on full lees, bottled without filtration, fining, or added SO₂. Made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc.
