Description
The Flower and the Bee wines aim to introduce native Galician grapes to a wider audience. This is a lovely full-flavoured white wine, with powerful flavours of herbs, pears and white peach. Real presence, but not at all heavy. Just lovely fruit intensity, and amazing freshness.
We loved this wine when we tried it as a team & decided it should be part of our December monthly pack!
It reminded us of a Gavi or Pecorino with lots of honeydew melon, jasmine & honeysuckle. There is a nice apple & pear acidity to keep this refreshing & a touch of grassy meadow flavours that may please fans of Sauvignon Blanc looking to explore rounder more floral whites.
Grapes are sourced from 27 hectares of vines planted on terraces (socalcos) and smooth slopes near the village of Gomariz. Soils are mostly sandy and granitic and vineyard altitude is 150 to 300 metres above sea level. A unique microclimate created by the Avia river causes summers to be hotter than usual in Galicia, and winters to be mild and humid.
Viticulture is non-certified organic. Many Biodynamic practices are used.
Grapes are hand harvested into 18 kg plastic-crates and transferred to a sorting table. They are de-stemmed, crushed and lightly pressed. Free-run juice is cold settled and fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel vats. Spends at least one month in bottle before release.
