Description

Silice Viticultores Blanco 2020

Grape Varietals & Region: Treixadura, Albariño, and Palomino from up north in the mountains of Galicia, Spain

Taste Profile: Classic & textural, pure refreshment, offering notes of green pear, apple and mineral-like acidity. Minimal SO2 used at bottling.

Winemaking Process: Barrel fermented and matured on the lees for 4 months. There's no lack of character here, or texture for that matter, yet the wine still glides

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
