Details
Missenyora 2025
Vegan
Produced in the western Catalan region of Costers del Segre, the wine Missenyora is made by the L'Olivera Cooperativa winery.
This varietal Spanish white wine is made from hand-picked and whole bunch pressed Macabeo grapes that were fermented in 80% American and 20% French oak barrels. Then this white wine from Costers del Segre was aged for some months with weekly stirrings.
Interestingly, the winery recovered an old technique that consists in adding concentrated wine must obtained through boiling (the proportion being 9 to 10 grams per litre). Because of that fact, the white wine Missenyora 2025 shows a great balance between acidity and sweetness.
Incidentally, the name of this vegan wine which literally translates as "Milady" - was the way people addressed the abbess of the Vallbona de les Monges Monastery, a stone's throw away from the winery.
| Appearance | The white wine Missenyora is medium yellow with some greenish tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Clean and expressive, this varietal Macabeo suggests some notes of white flowers and white fruit, alongside aromas of toast, ctirus, aromatic herbs, dim mineral undertones and some smokey nuances. |
| Palate | Enticing notes of flowers, bone fruit and citrus, combined with mineral and spicy suggestions. This vegan wine by bodega L'Olivera Cooperativa has a well-balanced acidity and a long, delicately herbal and citrusy finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Moreish and characteristic, the wine Missenyora 2025 will pair excellently with sautéed vegetables, white fish and creamy cheeses. |
