Description

Cooper Cellars Los Angeles Barba Blanca 2023

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Macabeo. The fruit comes from a single vineyard site in high altitude mountain site of Campo de Borja in Aragon, Spain

Taste Profile: The lemongrass and jasmine on the nose aren’t shaded by its poached pear, nectarine and apple character. Fragrant, flavorful and pretty deep and phenolic, with a full body and a fresh, creamy finish.

Winemaking Process: The fruit was hand-harvested and then vinified in 3 ways: in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, in a French oak puncheon and on its skins to create a ‘white’ wine like no other. It has an intense aroma of pears and figs and honey and the texture is soft and silky. The wine is long on the palate and ideal for Asian cuisine, fish and soft cheeses

sulfites: 37mg/L

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
