Zillamina, White (2023)

REGION: Pinoso, Alicante

COUNTRY: Spain

GRAPE(S): Macabeo, Airén

BODY: Light

ABV: 11%

TASTING NOTES: Brilliant, pale-straw color with aromas of golden apples and citrus. The palate is refreshing, lively, and fruity with flavors of tropical fruits like honeydew melon or pineapple, lime zest and herbal suggestions of lemon verbina and taragon. Fruit forward with medium acidity and a clean citrus finish.

WINEMAKING NOTES: After a soft crushing, a maceration at a low temperature is carried out to enhance the aromas of each grape variety. The free-run juice (locally called “flor”) then ferments for up to 30 days, in tanks at a low temperature. The wine is bottled after light (vegan-certified) fining and filtration, with a small addition of sulfur. Certified organic

PAIRS WELL WITH: Vegetable or seafood paella, BBQ chicken, paprika seasoned white fish, Asian Cuisine like coconut curry, or lovely by itself.
