Description
In a nutshell:
Crisp, vibrant, and bursting with tropical zest - a Valencian white that will transport you to the heart of Spain.
The lowdown:
This is one with an intense yet fragrant nose, with ripe peach, a hint of orange blossom, and just a touch of nuttiness. Those stone fruit notes carry onto the palate - think peach and lychee - joined by a hint of red apple. The finish is long, fresh, and wonderfully aromatic. The fruit comes from a high-altitude vineyard west of Valencia, where the vines thrive in sandy soil amidst almond and oak trees. The winemakers use organic practices and cultivate the Malvasia grape on trellises. Fermentation relies on natural yeasts, with the wine spending time on its lees in stainless steel, followed by a period in large oak vessels. The overall approach is hands-off, allowing the wine to express its true character.
The Producer:
Founded near Valencia in 1927, Bodegas Murviedro has steadily earned its place as a leader in the region. Their dedication to quality is evident under the experienced guidance of head winemaker Victor Marqués. With access to a rich selection of both indigenous and international grape varieties, the winery creates a comprehensive portfolio of styles. Bodegas Murviedro's philosophy deftly blends modern winemaking with the character of traditional vineyards, ensuring wines with a proper Spanish authenticity to them.
When to drink:
This Malvasia will shine alongside grilled scallops - just a squeeze of lemon - or a fragrant Thai curry.
Suitable for Vegans
