White Wine Guerinda La Roya 2023
Availability: In stock
Produced by the Máximo Abete winery, the wine Guerinda La Roya comes from DO Navarra.
This Spanish white wine is produced from a local clone of Grey Grenache (Garnacha Gris) indigenous to the Baja Montaña area in Navarra. Known as Roya, the variety is in the process of being recovered for wine production.
The grapes come from a single parcel, planted with 35-year-old organically farmed vines and situated at 650 metres of altitude.
This wine is produced as a Blanc de Noirs, that is, avoiding any contact between the must and the skins. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 2-3 weeks.
Naturally stabilized during the winter season, the wine Guerinda La Roya 2023 was gently filtered before being bottled.
This wine does not bear the DO Navarra label because the Roya grape is considered a red variety and it is not allowed for white wine production.
Appearance | The wine Guerinda La Roya is deep straw with delicate golden reflections. |
---|---|
Nose | Elegant and characterful nose, with a prominent citrus note highlighted by aromas of aromatic herbs, forest floor, fennel and hay. This Grey Grenache also shows some mineral and floral overtones. |
Palate | Crisp and linear, but not bone dry, this wine of Máximo Abete is rather intense and very elegant, with focus, freshness, and a rock-solid acidity. Ripe white fruit, remembrances of ginger, rosemary and lime, and some mineral hints. Long finish. |
Our personal opinion | Faultless and seductive, the wine Guerinda La Roya 2023 is excellent without food, and also accompanying oriental cuisine and pasta dishes. |
