Cune Barrel Fermented Blanco 2020

Rioja
  • 75cl bottle

Bright pale yellow colour. Good nose, very clean and complex where we find aromas of pear, apple, white currant intertwined with toasted aromas of fine and delicate wood. To the palate it is a soft entry wine, marked by a kind tannin which ends in an elegant acidity that gives a fresh and very interesting aftertaste.

Vineyards

Manual selection of grapes at their optimum point of ripeness

Vintage

It has been a difficult year. The weather adversities, such as hail in June, have been joined this year by the uncertainty generated by other wordly events. Overall, the 2020 campaign had a reduced harvest in some places due to hail and rain during flowering time. However, the grapes developed in exceptional quality and health.

Winemaking

In the winery, the grapes underwent 6 - 8 hours skin contact in order to achieve better extraction of the aromatic compounds in the resulting wine. The grapes are then lightly pressed and the juice transferred to new American oak casks for a fermentation that lasts between 15 and 20 days at cellar temperature: between 6 and 20° C. The young wine remains on its lees which are periodically stirred through the wine so that they hang in suspension. The wine is regularly tasted to assess its flavour evolution, until we decide on the optimum moment to rack it and bottle it.

Enjoy with:

  • Grilled and Roasted White Meats
  • Fish/Shellfish
  • Salads and Picnics
The ideal pairing for white meat, fish, pasta and rice.
