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.
