A few years ago, the Venta d’Aubert winery, the producer of Venta d’Aubert Blanco started a a process of soil regeneration using vegetal compost and animal manure, following the guidelines of biodynamic agriculture.
The 2017 vintage was a very dry one. Harvest was carried out in September, to preserve acidity and keep alcohol content under control.
Once in the cellar, the White Grenache grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks. As for the Chardonnay grapes, they were fermented with indigenous yeasts in new French oak barrels. Then both wines were blended, and Venta d’Aubert Blanco 2017 was aged for 12 months in oak barrels.
Pair this Crianza white wine with fish recipes, white meat and creamy cheese.
