Description

Barranco Oscuro Formentino is a semi-sweet white wine made from the Vermentino grape variety. Produced by the Barranco Oscuro winery in the Alpujarra region of Granada, this wine is grown at an altitude of 1300 metres above sea level on poor, stony, slate soils.

Winemaking

During the vinification process, the grapes are directly pressed and fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks before being bottled to generate its natural gas. The wine remains in the bottle for a year until disgorging. It should be noted that no cooling equipment is used to control the fermentation temperature and no sulphites are added, keeping the total SO2 below 6 mg/litre. The production is limited to 500 bottles, being an ancestral and natural wine. This Formentino presents a balance between sweetness (44 gr/litre) and an extraordinary acidity (7.1 gr/litre).

Taste

Barranco Oscuro Formentino stands out for its pale yellow colour with a slight orange tinge. On the nose, it offers notes of green cherries and a touch of lambic. On the palate, green fig predominates, accompanied by a subtle jam, a good touch of salinity and a hint of hibiscus. Its medium-high acidity provides an electric freshness, balanced with a touch of sweetness that contrasts with the salt and acid. The wine has a medium finish that leaves a lingering memory of fresh rhubarb. This slightly sweet Vermentino Pet Nat is ideal to enjoy on a spring afternoon, pairing perfectly with turkey sandwiches with brie, figs and lemon, as well as soft cheeses with crackers.
