Produced from 100% Albariño, Galicia's rising star, this clean, fresh wine explodes from the glass with intense white fruit and floral aromas. Flavors of white peach, apricot and citrus mingle with hints of minerals and honey. In the vineyard low crop yields and optimum ripeness levels are the norm. The grapes used in Castel de Bouza are selected from the vineyard's best plots, gently destemmed, pressed, and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Half of the wine is allowed to go through malolactic fermentation in order to impart a hint of silky richness. Fruit driven yet dry with mouthwatering, juicy acidity, Castel de Bouza is a heavenly match with shellfish, but in absence of a local scallop monger, try it with anything, especially good friends and family.
Hand harvested , the finest tempranillo grapes were carefully selected from the vineyard's best plots and underwent fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. After aging for a year in French and American oak, the wine was lightly filtered, bottled and aged for another year.This complex and well-balanced wine shows deep red/purple colors with hues of red cherry at the rim. On the nose notes of ripe red and black fruits dominate. A juicy & succulent entry leads to a full bodied mid-palate with great depth of fruit. Hints of mineral, spice and vanilla round out the palate and give way to a medium-long, velvety finish. At 13.5% alcohol the wine deftly balances ripe fruit, tannin and acidity and pairs pleasurably with red meats and aged cheeses.
