Posca Bianca NV Country|Spain

Posca Bianca NV Country|SpainThe NV in the description stands for non vintage, meaning that the wine is made from the product of more than one single year. Federico has made what he calls his perpetual cuve a wine that slowly changes and evolves over time. The idea is a little like a simplified version of the Solera system used in Spanish sherry making. Each year wine is added to a tank that already contains wine from up to ten previous vintages; wine is then bottled from that

Biclir is light and fragrant

One to throw in the ice bucket and drink with abandon

grapes were de-stemmed

Fine tannins frame the complexity of the wine with bright finish that is whistle clean

leaving this fizz with that inviting textured haze

From vines around 40 years old planted in a single parcel over clay and limestone

and makes it super-tasty

the final level of alcohol is high

but there is freshness and acidity to provide balance

the grapes are destemmed and macerated for about a day on the skins

this wine delivers intense black fruit flavours with some lovely little tart red fruits sitting in the background
