BLANCO NIEVA PIE FRANCO VERDEJO

Exclusively produced with ungrafted Verdejo grapes from vines almost one hundred years old. A special limited 8,906 bottles edition, a selection of our very best 2016 Pie Franco from the hawthorns in Paraje Vallehondo in Nieva. After its manual harvest, the grape juice is fermented at low temperature in order to keep its whole fruit and mineral power. A shiny, clean wine of crystal pale yellow colour with the greenish reflections of the Verdejo variety.

A contained but very complex aromatic intensity, with the unique minerality of the terroir, chalky hints and well integrated white fresh fruit. We also find some balsamics and hints of aromatic herbs that are characteristic to this variety.

A very silky entry due to the aging over thin lees, without losing the Verdejo character in its final bitterness, which gives longitude. We find balsamic aromas again and good acidity in the aftertaste. The result is a fresh, elegant and aromatically complex wine, broad in the mouth, which makes it persistent. A treat which will surprise when tasted for the first time.
