Venus la Univerial Dido blanc 2017

This wine is a blend of Macabeo, Garnacha Blanca, and Cartoixà (the local name for Xarello) from two vineyards located in the villages of Marçà and Falset. The vines are respectively 70 and 25 years old and grow in limestone and limestone and clay soils. To make the wine, the grapes were pressed directly, and part of them were left with the skins for a short time. The wine was then matured for 14 months in 2,500-liter oak foudres, concrete vats, and some used barriques. It has a moderate alcohol content of 13% and a Mediterranean profile that combines volume with elegance. The wine has balsamic aromas, and the sensation of skin contact feels stronger. On the finish, there are some bitter notes. This vintage is austere with mineral and serious wines and a notable absence of fruit. The winery produced 20,367 bottles.
