Vidueños de Sedella 2016, a white of another dimension.

White Wine (45% Moscatel de Alejandría, others) D.O. Sierras de Malaga

Moscatel de Alejandría and a “vidueño” from Doradilla, Montúa, Calona and loose strains of other unidentified local white varieties meet in this first target of the Lauren Rosillo project in the Axarquía of Malaga. The wine ferments with a third of the skins in egg-shaped cement amphoras and later it passes 8 months of aging in the same amphoras and in used barrels. The use of skins, the fermentation on lees and the barrel give this wine another dimension, the necessary structure and an antioxidant capacity that will allow a long life. At least 10 years to enjoy it.
The grapes come from a vineyard planted in 1940. Manual harvest with low yields. Manual selection of the grapes, destemming and maceration in a small stainless steel tank. Fermentation with autochthonous yeasts and with 1/3 of the skins for 27 days. Transfer with all its lees and without skins to amphora of cement type egg and French oak barrels used. It ages 8 months on lees in cement egg and used French oak barrels Tronçais.
