Product notes
The Dunnigan Hills appellation is uniquely suited for grapes that thrive in a Mediterranean climate. Warm days, gravelly soil, little rainfall; these are ideal conditions for Tempranillo, Tannat, Graciano and Verdejo. The spicy, full-flavored Tinto Rey wines truly showcase the distinctive terroir of the vineyards.
Production notes
The Verdejo is always the first to be harvested from the estate. The grapes are picked in the early morning hours both by hand and machine. A portion of the grapes were whole cluster pressed. The wine was fermented in neutral oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks. Barrel fermented lots were aged 5 months in neutral oak to increase complexity and mouthfeel, resulting in a wine that is crisp and refreshing.
Tasting notes
The aromatics are a burst of fresh fruit; flavours of green apple, lime zest and lemon are framed with a creaminess from barrel aging. The finish is crisp and refreshing with a little pop of minerality. Perfect as an aperitif, this racy white wine pairs well with creamy cheeses, spicy shrimp or a salmon salad.
