Fransola Sauvignon Blanc DO 2018 - Miguel Torres
Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
The Fransola from Miguel Torres is vinified from the grapes of the high, cooler Fransola vineyard and appears in a bright golden yellow.
This white wine from Spain has an elegant bouquet with a wonderful balance between tropical, opulent passion fruit and peach aromas and slightly vegetable (fresh coffee beans, pepper), delicately spicy notes. On the palate this Spanish white wine shows a lively freshness and fullness as well as a fine fruity, elegant acidity in the finish.
Vinification of Miguel Torres Fransola
The hand-picked grapes of Sauvignon Blanc (95%) and Parellada (5%) are gently pressed. The must is fermented cool and slowly within two weeks, half in stainless steel tanks and the other half in American and French oak barrels. This wine is aged for eight months in French and American oak barrels on fine yeast.
