VY VINYATER 2017
From the remote and enchanting village of Bonastre, in Catalunya’s Penedes region, comes this eminently drinkable, super-juicy but plenty deep natural white from this iconic Spanish winery. It’s 100% Vinyater, a rare and almost forgotten local variety, from a single vineyard of over 60 years of age on clay-limestone soils. It’s direct-pressed with the stems and of course naturally fermented, it rests on the lees for at least 3 months before bottling with no debasing fining, filtration or added SO2. Chamomile tea with white peaches, saffron and lightly caramelized cashews with thyme.
