Sweet White wine, 100%Verdejo DOP Valles de Benavente

  • Exhibitor: BODEGAS OTERO
  • Brand name: Impacto
  • Sector: VINO BLANCO CON D.O. JOVEN/ DEL AÑO

 

WINEMAKING: Controlled mechanical harvest. The destemmed grapes macerated for 2 hours in pneumatic presses, before the must was extracted by gentle pressure to ferment in stainless steel tanks. When the must reaches 9º of alcohol, fermentation is stopped by lowering the temperature.

TASTING NOTE: Straw yellow color. Very fresh and clean aromas, with a predominance of pear, fresh grass, pineapple, and light citrus touches. In the mouth, it is tasty with a good expression of fruit. The combination of acidity and sugar allows us to serve it both as an appetizer and with desserts, but always very cold, between 6º and 8ºC.

 


Bodegas Otero is a centenarian family winery. Founded in 1906 in Valles de Benavente, it was the forerunner of the Prieto Picudo wines production and marketing. The Prieto Picudo variety is indigenous from Valles de Benavente. In Spain it is only cultivated in 3.200 Ha, making Prieto Picudo wines unique in the world with a very limited production. The Prieto Picudo variety is ideal for making aged reds and excellent bright rosés. The quality of Bodegas Otero wines has been acknowledged by the most prestigious prizes and ratings – Gold medals in Le Mondial du Vin de Bruxelles, 90 points Parker, 90 points Peñín, etc.
