DESCRIPTION
Mudèfer is a wine that comes from the oldest vineyards. Located in very unique valleys, surrounded by forests at 400 to 550 m in altitude, where annual rainfall does not exceed 400 l/m². These vines are cultivated in natural terraces with “panal” soil; strong, deep, calcareous and permeable.
TASTING
The wine has a bright, crisp ruby red surface. Decanting is recommended or opening the bottle half an hour before consuming, which would allow it to express its full aromatic intensity. It presents very fine and delicate but deep varietal aromas such as grapefruit, apricot, white flowers and tender almonds. Good balance and a lot of freshness on the nose. In the mouth, long-lasting, a touch of toast, very frank and evocative, with a network of white fruit, citrus, grapefruit and lemon, very round, meaty and very fresh. Clean, with the presence of local herbs and luxurious acidity. Deep finish with good persistence, slightly bitter typical of this variety.
