ELABORATION: This distinctive Malvasia begins its journey with a carefully timed manual harvest in mid-September, when the grapes achieve optimal ripeness while maintaining crucial acidity. Following harvest, the grapes undergo a precise cold maceration process, extracting delicate aromatics and flavor compounds while preserving freshness. Temperature-controlled fermentation ensures the preservation of Malvasia's distinctive varietal characteristics.
The wine then undergoes spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in barrels, allowing natural yeasts to create complexity and express the grape's true character. A three-month aging on fine lees in these same barrels adds texture and depth while developing subtle complexity. This careful process maintains the wine's freshness while building layers of flavor and a refined mouthfeel.

VISUAL PHASE: Brilliant pale yellow with distinctive greenish highlights, displaying exceptional clarity and luminosity. The wine shows crystalline transparency with bright, reflective edges that catch the light beautifully. When swirled, delicate tears form on the glass, indicating the wine's body and structure. The youthful, vibrant appearance promises the freshness typical of premium Malvasia.

OLFACTORY PHASE: The nose opens with an enticing array of exotic fruits - ripe pineapple, passion fruit, and mango - creating a vibrant aromatic profile. These tropical notes are elegantly complemented by a delicate vanilla scent from the barrel aging, adding subtle sophistication without overwhelming the fruit character. As the wine opens in the glass, layers of fresh stone fruits emerge, while the lees aging contributes a subtle complexity to the aromatic bouquet. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with perfect balance between fruit expression and refined oak notes.

TASTE PHASE: The palate immediately reveals the exceptional quality of the fruit selection, displaying both purity and precision. A seductive texture unfolds across the palate, where soft and delicate tannins create a silky, refined mouthfeel. The wine shows impressive balance between weight and freshness, with the three months of lees aging contributing subtle complexity and body. The journey culminates in a high-intensity finish marked by remarkable elegance and persistence. Throughout the tasting experience, the wine maintains a sophisticated restraint - a study in elegant minimalism where each element plays its part perfectly without excess.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: Cool, between 6°C and 8°C.

GASTRONOMY: This refined Malvasia is a versatile partner for sophisticated cuisine. Its elegant profile and subtle complexity pair beautifully with seafood dishes - try it with grilled sea bass, lobster in butter sauce, or seared scallops. The wine's silky texture complements creamy fish dishes and works particularly well with seafood risotto or pasta with white sauce.
For traditional Spanish pairings, serve with pulpo a la gallega, gambas al ajillo, or a selection of fresh shellfish. The wine's structure allows it to stand up to richer dishes like roasted chicken with herbs or grilled turkey, while its freshness makes it perfect with lighter fare such as mixed seafood salads or fresh goat cheese.
Mediterranean classics like paella de mariscos or fideuà bring out the wine's elegant character. It also shines as an sophisticated aperitif, best served chilled between 6-8°C to preserve its delicate aromatic profile.
