2023 6x75cl
Bright straw yellow in colour. On the nose, intense and varietal, reminiscent of mature white fruit and very mineral. Balanced, silky, fresh and persistent on the palate.
Vineyards
Soils in these high altitude vineyards with a 39% inclination are mostly slate.
Vintage
The 2023 harvest was the earliest in the history of Virgen del Galir, starting in the last week of August. With a rainy spring, dry summer and moderate temperatures, budbreak was somewhat earlier than in 2022. Full alcoholic ripening, with good pH and acidity. Higher yields than previous year.
Winemaking
Harvested Hand in cases of 15kgs to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Once the grape arrives at the winery they're cooled to avoid oxidation. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures to ensure the wine preserves varietal aromas.
