Young dry white wine.

We only use our own grapes, which are hand-picked, with a selection of the best grapes in the vineyard and a further selection at the Cellar. The first must is obtained from the freshly picked grapes using a gentle pneumatic press. The must is then filtered by static decanting, before fermenting the clear must in stainless steel tanks.

Viña del Sios white (DO Costers del Segre)

Viña del Sios white (DO Costers del Segre)

Description

It’s a single vineyard wine, all grapes belongs to the same vineyard, PLA DEL LLADONER. This wine it’s a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (85%) and Chardonnay (15%), (we call it “Sauvignnay”), aged on lees. This ageing gives the wine aromatic richness and complexity.

Elaboration

We realized five staggered harvests in different times of maturation of the grapes which will bring a better aromatic complexity. The harvest took place only during the coolest hours in the night and early morning. We used exclusively for the winemaking, the grape juice flower. Static racking and for Chardonnay variety, we filled up the new French Oak Allier of 300 Ltrs during 3 weeks, where the wines will make the fermentation at 18ºC followed by the maturity on they’re own lees for 3-4 months more. For Sauvignon variety the fermentation is taking place at 14-15ºC during 25 days followed by a maturity time on they’re own lees for 3 months in the stainless steel tank. Careful with the preparation of the final blend and bottling where it’s going to complete its roudness and give us his complexity.

Sensorial analyses

View: Brilliant straw yellow with golden metallic and new gold

reflections.

Nose: Good intensity, subtle and elegant, with fresh aromas, citrus

notes, soft floral and balsamic memories. Changes in the moment it’s

opened and also keeps maturing in the bottle.

Mouth: Fresh entry, nice acidity which will get roundly because of its

maturity in the bottle, soft touch, long and pleasant retro taste,

bringing back the fruit, making well the evolution in the bottle.

Wine pairing and service

It’s a perfect companion for food. Links very well with a good selection of cheeses and supports many combinations. To be served at 10-13ºC, may require a small decantation. To be consumed now as a young wine or next year and half 2 years if we want to find a complex wine with different nuances and aromas. To take care of the wine conservation, bellow 16ºC.
