Rufete Blanca Pizarra 2017

Very early spring. Very hot summer. Grapes were harvested earlier than any year before. In the last week of August some storms allowed the plants to recover from water stress and the grapes to complete ripening. Harvest by hand second week of September. Spontaneous fermentation on steel, ripening on lees. It is a complex, somewhat tannic, well-structured wine, with aromas of ripe apples and notes of nuts on the nose and palate. This slate white Rufete has a slight hint of sweetness and is slightly more concentrated and unctuous than the Granite white Cambrico. Only 927 bottles.
