Bodegas Bhilar, Carrakripan 2019

Produktbeskrivelse

Carrakripan er Bhilars nyeste hvidvin i sortimentet. Druerne håndhøstes og afstilkes i hånden. Gæringen sker på et 1800 ltr. åbent træfad, og vinen lagrer efterfølgende 20 mdr. på 500 ltr. foudre af brugt fransk eg. Vinen har en en smuk gylden farve og en duft af akacie og gule stenfrugter. Smagen er let super frisk, med svagt oxidative toner og en næsten kalket mineralsk friskhed i afslutningen. Fremragende hvidvin der kalder på kraftige fiskeretter, kylling eller kalv.

“The new white 2019 Carrakripán was produced with 65% Viura, 30% Malvasía and 5% Palomino from a their highest-altitude vines—three plots of old vines around the village of Kripán. It’s 13% alcohol and has a low pH of 3.25 and notable acidity (7.12 grams of tartaric acid per liter). I found it fresher than the majority of whites and with better balance and a more vibrant palate, with moderate skin influence, fine tannins and a long, dry finish. The grapes were pressed slowly over the course of five hours and the must put to ferment in an 1,800-liter oak foudre, and the wine matured in used 500-liter oak barrels for 20 months. It has a more elegant profile, less skin character and feels more drinkable” Robert Parker.com 94p.
