Product Description
Details

Produced by bodega Mas Llunes, the wine Nívia comes from the northern tip of DO Empordà, an area with slate soils from which one can see both the Canigou mountain and the Mediterranean Sea. This mountain-sea duality defines the character of this remarkable Spanish white wine.

A blend of the traditional varieties White Grenache (86%) and Macabeo (14%), the grapes were hand-picked and macerated for 10 days under low temperature. After that, this organic and vegan white wine from Empordà must was racked by gravity into stainless steel tanks, in which it was fermented for 21 days.

Before finishing the process, the white wine Mas Llunes Nívia 2022 was transferred into new French oak barrels, in which it completed fermentation and was subsequently aged for 5 months.

Before bottling, this white wine from Empordà was filtered and cold-stabilized.

18,500 bottles produced.

Aerate before drinking.

Appearance

The white wine Mas Llunes Nívia is medium straw with some golden reflections.

Nose

This blend of White Grenache and Macabeo is rich and ever-evolving, showing fennel, honeysuckle and rosemary oil, with candied citrus peel, sweet spices, deep mineral suggestions and a hint of dried white flowers.

Palate

Unctuous and richly layered, this wine of Mas Llunes winery is saline and mineral, with a velvety texture, remarkable concentration, a warm note balanced by a steely acidity and a very long, savoury finish.

Our personal opinion

Substantial and food-friendly, the wine Mas Llunes Nívia 2022 will pair fabulously well with white meat recipes, oilyfish dishes and medium-aged cheese.
