Silice Viticultores came about when a pair of brothers teamed up with a friend to rediscover their winemaking roots and preserve the historic vineyards around Barantes, Galicia. Silice oversees eight hectares of vines, planted on steep slopes

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
