Biodynamic wine - profile  

• Color: straw with greenish reflections
• Nose:the bouquet is difficult to define because it is so diverse. Depending on the temperature and contact with the air, it smells of peach, apricot, pineapple, herbs and white blossoms, plus mineral notes of flint.
• Mouth: here the fruity aromas merge with mineral notes to form a complex and complete white wine with a good balance because acidity and alcohol are well integrated into the wine and do not dominate it.
• Recommendation: serve this enchanting white wine at a temperature of 8 - 10 ° C. It goes well with vegetarian / vegan dishes, but also with fish, white meat or young hard cheeses.

Biodynamic wine - processing, Lagravera, Ónra, Costers del Segre, white

The grapes thrive in the Vinya Nuria vineyard on sandy soils interspersed with large stones left by the Noguera Ribagorçana river thousands of years ago. It has been certified biodynamically by Demeter since 2012 and is covered with wild flowers and herbs. As for all Lagravera wines, the grape harvest is done manually, leaving less well-developed grapes on the vine. The actual winemaking begins by separating the grapes from swn stalks and panicles and squeezing them lightly so that part of the juice they contain can escape. This juice and the berries then macerate for eight hours at a temperature of 6 ° C, during which natural enzymes are formed that help develop the taste and improve the later shelf life of the wine. The fermentation is carried out with the grape's own yeast, which preserves the typical grape and soil aromas. The wine then matures in stainless steel tanks for 4 months.
