4.2
Some sources say there was maceration on the skins for 40 days in stainless tanks. No traces of that, but instead, flor-dominated nose. Jerez, soaked apples, VA, jasmine, honey, and citrus. Dry, medium-full bodied with crisp acidity, good balance, persistent aftertaste and powerful intensity of flavours. Not for everyone, but I love this style.
About
Grapes for Palli et Genesia come from Platanos village at 450 m above sea level. It's a resurrected vineyard growing on pink granite. Fruits are pressed by own weight (hey gravity), aka "free-run juice". Macerated on the skins for 40 days in stainless tanks and then aged in 750 litres clay amphoras.
