DESCRIPTION
A full bodied, yet fragrant organic white from the Cadiz region of Spain.
The lowdown:
Bodegas Forlong focus on quality, not quantity and this really shows in this characterful blend of, mainly, Palomino and Pedro Ximenez. After fermentation it's aged on its lees which gives extra weight to the body, The gentle florality covers an edgy minerality with a mere hint of sweetness balanced by plenty of crispness and it finishes off with a bright characterful persistence.
When to drink:
Lot's going here, it's a good match for rich fish dishes and white meats.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
PRODUCER
Bodegas Forlong
The only certified organic vineyard and wine producer in the region of El Puerto de Santa Maria, Bodega da Forlong has vineyards in Forlong, Greduela and Plantalina. Created by two young entrepreneurs in love with wine, Alejandro Narváez and Rocío Áspera in 2009, this Bodega is going from strength to strength. They produced their first bottling in 2012 with a Tinto and their first Blanco in 2013.
Their focus is solely on quality and not quantity of the indigenous Palomino, Pedro Ximinez, Tintilla Rota and international varietal grapes such as Merlot and Syrah, taking great care with pruning to manage the yield. They employ biodynamic, natural and sustainable methods to manage the albariza rich soils and vines in the vineyards, including using the cuttings from pruning as fertiliser and the use of ground cover crops to re-introduce nitrogen back into the soil and to stress the vines to compete for nutrients.
