A varietal Albariño, Galicia's best known white grape, Lagar de Cervera is produced by Lagar de Fornelos, a branch of Grupo La Rioja Alta.
The grapes were sourced from vineyards surrounded by forests along the course of the Miño river. The vineyards are scattered across the Salnés county, in DO Rías Baixas.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were first cooled and then macerated at 10ºC for about 10 hours. Then they were destemmed and crushed.
Drawn-off, the wine must was fermented at 15ºC. Then this Spanish white wine underwent a partial malolactic fermentation.
Finally, Lagar de Cervera 2021 was aged on its lees to improve its creaminess and roundness.
Pair this white wine from Rías Baixas with shrimp, rice dishes and fish and chips.
Appearance | The white wine Lagar de Cervera is deep straw with some greenish tinges. |
---|---|
Nose | This expressive Albariño smells of passion fruit, grapefruit, orange rind and white flowers, nuanced by hints of hay and ripe apples. |
Palate | Fresh and smooth, this wine from bodega Lagar de Fornelos has a delicately unctuous texture and an excellent acidity. Ripe peaches, a dash of citrus and aromatic herbs and suggestions of jasmine and white roses. Long finish with some bitter remembrances. |
Our personal opinion | Seafood, Japanese food, rice dishes and Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare will all pair excellently with Lagar de Cervera 2021. |
