B51 2019 White
Wine is a passion, they say! By virtue of this passion, those who love the nectar of the gods are affected with pleasure, who are affected by odors and flavors, which leads to carrying this feeling, without beginning, patent without a glass and then being taken to where everything is created, let yourself be taken ashore.
Vinification
Harvest: On August 28th, the harvest was done manually and transported in 10 kg boxes to avoid crushing the grapes.
Oenology: Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats for 3 weeks with a controlled temperature of 14º C.
Ageing: After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine was kept in contact with the lees for a year and a half in specially made oak barrels, followed by 7 months of aging in the bottle.
Recomendations
To fully benefit from the aging in the oak barrels and bottle, we advise to decant the wine.
