Product Description
Details
Produced in the western Catalan region of Costers del Segre, the wine Missenyora is a varietal Spanish white wine made solely from Macabeo by the L'Olivera Cooperativa winery.
The grapes were harvested by hand and whole bunch pressed. Then this white wine from Costers del Segre was fermented in 80% American and 20% French oak barrels, and subsequently aged for some months with weekly stirrings.
Interestingly, the winery recovered an old technique that consists in adding concentrated wine must - obtained through boiling - to this vegan white wine (the proportion being 9 to 10 grams per litre). Because of that fact, the wine Missenyora 2022 shows a great balance between acidity and sweetness.
Incidentally, Missenyora (which literally means "Milady") was the way people addressed the abbess of the Vallbona de les Monges Monastery, a stone's throw away from the winery.

Delicious. The palate is a combination of spices, apricots and hazelnuts. Nice body and long finish.
