Valdepuga Treixadura

Viva Espana! Na het proeven van deze perfecte droge witte wijn wordt duidelijk dat het niet alleen maar Spaans rood is die voor een wereldreputatie zorg kan dragen. De inheemse druivensoorten in onze nieuwe ontdekking mag er eveneens wezen. Perfect vullen - 80% treixadura, 10% albariño, 5% loureira en 5% godello - elkaar aan en vormen een zeldzaam harmonisch geheel.
De smaak is puur met appel, limoen en witte peper en kent een lange minerale afdronk met veel tropische fruittonen. Ongekende klasse die een ontmoeting met zeevruchten niet uit de weg zal gaan. Wellicht treed ie in de sporen van hun grote rode broers. Aanbevelingswaardig....

PRODUCTION:
Our grapes are picked by hand because it is impossible to use machinery in our
vineyards due to the terrace. Bunches are sorted in the vineyard. Once the grapes arrive
to the winery, the flower must is extracted with a soft pressing. After this process, the
must is kept in stainless steel vats. First step is to make a static debourbage, during 24
hours. After the debourbage, fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in our
new stainless-steel vats. Finally, the wine is aged at least 6 months in bottle, before
starting to be commercialized.
