What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...
A blend of Listan Blanco, Albillo Criollo, and Verdello (the Portuguese varietal found in Madeira, not to be confused with Verdejo from continental Spain) from Cercado del Pino, a 1.5 hectare vineyard in Orotova. The Listan Blanco is pressed directly, full clusters, and fermented in concrete. The Albillo Criollo is destemmed manually, and foot stomped. It ferments with the skins in clay amphorae. The Verdello also gets to be destemmed manually, and ferments in open top wood vats. The wines are then blended and rest in concrete, amphorae and used oak for 6 months. Citric, with bright acid and a broad texture. 2.800 bottles produced.
