White Wine Ramón do Casar Lento 2017
Availability: In stock
As the name of this Spanish white wine suggests ("lento" means "slow"), Ramón do Casar Lento was produced from grapes that were harvested slightly overripen. The meticulous elaboration process was supervised by the talented oenologist Pablo Estévez.
A varietal Treixadura, this Galician white wine was produced from estate-owned vineyards planted on the slopes of the Miño River, an area belonging to the DO Ribeiro.
Picked up by hand and selected on site and in the premises of the Ramón do Casar winery, the grapes were destemmed and macerated with the skins for several hours. Then Ramón do Casar Lento 2017 was fermented on its lees in stainless steel tanks.
The late harvested grapes give this Ribeiro white wine a remarkably original character.

Nose | This varietal Treixadura smells of raisins, candied white fruit and dried rose petals. There is a note of honey and chamomile tea, and some toasted remembrances on the background. |

Our personal opinion | Exquisitely crafted, Ramón do Casar Lento 2017 will pair excellently with creamy cheeses and foie. |
