Vergel Airén & Sauvignon Blanc Alicante 75cl

This wine is the result of old Airén vines, a Spanish indigenous grape variety, cultivated in the traditional way in non-irrigated vineyards, and Sauvignon Blanc, of which yields were controlled (less than 0,50 kg/vine) to obtain maximum concentration & aromatic complexity. All attention was dedicated to respecting the natural environment and terroir, using organic agriculture & hand picking during the cooler hours in the morning in order to preserve the grapes´ integrity, but also to limit the risks of oxidation. After a smooth pressing & delicate racking of the must, fermentation is started with indigenous yeasts in order to display the typical characteristics of the area. For aromatic expression, the temperature is controlled daily. The fermentation is followed by the process of leaving the wine on fine lees for several weeks.

Pale yellow with golden reflections. Aromas of ripe fruit (peach, apricot, guava), white flowers and spices (ginger, white pepper) and hint of butter. Powerful, sweet & broad on the palate. An elegant wine, with traditional in mind, yet modern in style.
