Description
The wine Els Bassotets by Escoda Sanahuja is a white wine, product of the processing of 30% Chenin Blanc and 70% Macabeu grapes, grown in vineyards that are treated with biodynamic and organic processes, as certified by the winery.
Although it is a white wine, it is classified as an orange wine because of its striking colour, which derives from the absence of filtering, after the ageing period to which it is subjected.
It is a wine with a very accentuated citric flavour, but at the same time balanced, as it also allows you to taste sweet and mineral tonalities, which denote the presence of the wind coming from the Mediterranean Sea, during the cultivation phase of the fruit.
Freshness is one of the characteristics that best defines it, as it leaves a sensation of lightness on the palate, but with a long finish.
Elaboration
The production of this white wine begins with the harvesting of the fruit, which is carried out using traditional techniques to ensure that the grapes are at their optimum level of ripeness.
After the must is extracted, it undergoes an alcoholic fermentation phase with the fruit's own yeasts, using concrete tanks to preserve it.
It isthen aged for 10 months in stainless steel barrels, and finally bottled without filtering or fining. This last element is what determines its striking amber hue, which defines it as an orange wine.
Taste
The wine Els Bassotets de Escoda Sanahuja is an example of a wine whose flavour reveals the presence of white fruits, with hints of pronounced acidity, and at the same time, a slightly elongated permanence in the mouth.
A light and silky wine
The silky and light texture of this wine is due to the absence of filtering, an element that, added to the natural production process, qualifies it as one of the best wines. It is a good choice for tasting with white fish and soft cheeses.
