TASTING NOTES
Visual
Despite lengthy aging in stacks, its appearance is straw yellow with greenish reflections, indicating a young nature. In the glass, it develops numerous strings of persistent bubbles that have been honed by the passage of time.
Nose
On the nose it initially shows a fragrance of white flowers and citrus tones accompanied by balsamic nuances that denote its fresh character. More mature attributes are also perceived, peach skin and creamy notes, the result of contact with the yeasts during its lengthy stacking in the bottle, which also provides certain touches of hay and dried fruit shells. These are attributes that appear over the years and add great complexity and depth.
Palate
It stands out in the mouth for its great freshness, the result of the intrinsic character of the grapes in the Alto Najerilla region. It shows a natural acidity that integrates in a very balanced way with the fine bubbles and guides the wine throughout its entire voyage in the mouth. It also stands out for its great envelopment, with creamy sensations and sweet notes that are combined with acidity and result in a complex and persistent mouthfeel.
