Vimblanc 4/VB Blanc de Negres de Capçanes 2016
Vegano
Delicate, rare and characteristic, the wine Vimblanc 4V/B Blanc de Negres de Capçanes is sourced from over 50-year-old Grenache vineyards that were vinified to obtain a Blanc de Noirs wine.
Harvested by hand and meticulously selected on site, once in the facilities of Celler de Capçanes the grapes were destemmed and food trodden, after which the solid part of the skins was quickly separated from the wine must not to colour it.
Then this Spanish white wine from DO Montsant was fermented in stainless steel tanks for a period of 3 weeks, and kept in contact with its lees for 3 months.
After the process, the wine Vimblanc 4V/B Blanc de Negres de Capçanes 2016 was transferred into new, partially filled French oak barrels.
There, this vegan wine was biologically aged for 8 years under a "flor" veil similar to that of Sherry wines.
Aerate this white wine from Montsant 30 minutes before drinking.
Only 2,000 bottles produced.

| Nose | Intringuing and complex, this Blanc de Noirs white wine made from Grenache begins suggesting some aromas of tropical fruit, baked apples and flowers (roses and jasmine), which seamlessly evolve into tips of raspberries, strawberry yoghurt, toast and smoke. |
| Palate | Smooth and palate-coating, this wine from Celler de Capçanes has a deeply mineral character which is not austere or strict, but surprisingly juicy and savoury. The acidity s is excellent, the texture is detailed and layered, and the wine has a long finish with a deliciously salty note. |
