Tasting Notes

A straw yellow color wine with green reflections. On the nose there are predominate fruity notes and touches of vegetables, typical of the Albarín grape. In the mouth it is fresh, acidic, fruity, with considerable body and with a tasty and persistent palate. The Albarín grape is indigenous grape from the south of the province of Leon and Asturias. This grape variety has almost dis- appeared yet Pardevalles have recuperated it. They have planted 3 Ha of vineyard with Albarín grapes from which they elaborate their white wine. After a rigorous selection during the vintage and a careful transportation; the destemmed grape bunches are placed in stainless steel deposits where they will be subject to a prefermentative cold maceration during two days. After this process, the grape juice is separated from the skins and stems of the grapes. The grape juice is fermented with a constant temperature below 15oC. When the fermentation is completed, the wine is clarified, filtered and bottled.
