José Pariente Sauvignon Blanc sweet

“An amazing sweet white wine, fresh and complex”

The result of our concern for a new and original sweet wine.

After hard work in the vineyard and few small trials, we have come up with our Apasionado, a special and lively version of the grape Sauvignon Blanc.

Organic winegrowing

These grapes come from the ?rst Sauvignon Blanc vineyards planted in Rueda more than 30 years ago. After some years of non-stop work in R&D vineyard conversion, this plot was certi?ed and acknowledged as organic in the year 2018, a key element to get a late harvest sweet wine. There is no presence of pesticides, fungicides or weed-killers on these vineyards. The main goal is to get a soil rich in microorganisms, which in the long term allows us to get a longer vineyard life for future generations. Microorganisms keep the soil youth, which is essential for nutrients content, apart of those added by arti?cial fertilization. This soil, made up of the typical round pebbles of the area, shows up limestone outcrops in the highest levels. Sprawl pruning and few green prunings get low yields and high concentration, keeping its freshness. These grapes are impressive for their high acidity despite over-ripening in the vineyard.    

Winemaking process 

In the winery cold maceration allows us to retain grape primary aromas. After fermentation we keep a thorough work on the lees over 6 months to get full-body and complexity.
