Availability: In stock
Produced by bodega Los Insensatos de la Antehojuela, a young project from DO Montilla-Moriles, the wine Los Insensatos La Condená is made solely from Pedro Ximénez grapes.
This varietal Spanish white wine is sourced from a vineyard with tosca de antehojuela soils - a kind of soil slightly coarser than the traditional Albarizas of Sherry country - situated in Pago de Benavente, Sierra de Montilla, at 520 metres of altitude.
The grapes were destemmend and crushed before being gently pressed with a pneumatic press, after which they were drawn-off for 24 to 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation took place in concrete vessels under controlled temperature.
After that, Los Insensatos La Condená 2023 was aged for 11 months under the flor veil in the same vessels.
This white wine from Montilla-Moriles is quite special.
