Product Description
Details

Produced by the recently founded Los Insensatos de la Antehojuela winery, the wine Los Insensatos El Lechinar is a varietal Pedro Ximénez wine coming from DO Montilla-Moriles.

This exciting Spanish white wine is sourced exclusively from Pago Benavente Alto, a south-oriented vineyard with clay-loam soils situated in Sierra de Montilla, at 420 metres of altitude.

The hand-harvested grapes were destemmed, crushed and gently pressed in a pneumatic press before being drawn off at a low temperature. After that, this white wine from Montilla-Moriles was fermented under controlled temperature in concrete tinajas (vessels).

Then the white wine Los Insensatos El Lechinar 2022 was aged on lees under the veil of flor for a period of 7 months in the same vessels.

This white wine from Andalusia is versatile and unconventional.

Nose

Complex and suggestive, this varietal Pedro Ximénez suggests aromas of orchard fruit, freshly cut grass, citrus and hay, with a mineral note and a hint of green olives.

Palate

This white wine of Los Insensatos de la Antehojuela  is flavourful and fruit-forward, with a balanced acidity and some salty and umami notes, evolving into citrus and herbs. Long, yummy finish.

Exciting new wave Pedro ximenes, tangy and zippy with a raw, almost natural wine-like twist. I just LOVE this!!
