INFO: Solevari Feteascã Regalã comes from selected areas of the vineyard with fractured Limestone and light iron oxide rich loams, clay soils. Typically they are the areas known to produce better grapes. The grapes are given an extended ripening period to allow development of more intense flavour. The grippy mouth feel, typical for Feteascã Regalã is well expressed in this wine by allowing full fermentation to dryness, to create a sophisticated palate

Grapes destemmed and lightly crushed, cooled and immediately pressed, cooled again then must fully clarified using floatation. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel for 14 days at 13ºC, then a further 30 days in new french oak - Alliers barrique with lees stirring. No malolactic. One month oak ageing

VEGAN

Peaches, pears, pineapple in the background. Wonderful acidity, elegance, minerality and balance with a lenghty finish.
