Bodegas Paniza Dama D Roca Garnacha Blanca 2023
An elegant combination of citrus and white floral aromas are underpinned by a subtle mineral notes. Refreshing and bright, with characteristic herbal notes and green pear through to a clean finish.
The vineyard is situated in a hilly terrain at the base of the Iberian Mountains in North East Spain. The climate is continental with warm, dry summers and cool, windy winters. The vines are grown at an elevation of 700 metres, where the warm days are countered by cooler evenings, which create long ripening periods for the grapes allowing them to build up rich fruit flavours during the warmth of the day, balanced by natural acidity from the cool nights. The soil and subsoils are characterised by the great diversity of its geological composition, they are composed of schist, chalk, loams and red clay.
The carefully selected grapes were macerated for several days at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks in order to extract flavours and aromas. Following gentle pressing, the juice was fermented with selected yeasts at 18°C in stainless steel tanks to retain the pure fruit flavours. The wine was then clarified and lightly filtered prior to bottling.
