Description

"A really delicate sweet wine that is made from Malvasia up in the northeast of Spain but with German collaboration (to perfect the Botrytis sweet wine style). In the glass, the flavours just jump out at you with candied lemons, orange blossom and yellow peaches amongst the first. As it opens up a raft of orange and yellow stone and citrus fruit flavours appear as well as some gorgeous and ripe tropical fruit flavours. Delicious!"

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Mas Candi

Mas Candi is a revolutionary winery located in the Penedes region of north-eastern Spain. It was started up in just 2006 by four viticulture and winemaking students from France. They are a tiny winemaking venture that use solely their own grapes from their own organically farmed vineyards. Their flagship grape is Xarel-lo, one of the most under-rated white grapes in all of Spain. They have made it their life's work over the last decade to produce serious wines from Xarel-lo to show the world how incredible it can be.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Malvasia Blanca

Malvasia Blanca is a catch all name for a range of grapes in the Malvasia family. Malvasia makes some of Europe's most understated white wines from the fortified wines of Madeira, the sweet wines of the Vin Santos of Tuscany and also as a dry white across Portugal and the Languedoc-Roussillon in the south of France. Certain new world countries such as California are producing a few stunning examples of Malvasia Blanca. At their best they are zesty, crisp and refreshing with tropical and peachy flavours galore.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Penedes

Penedes is the vast region in northeastern Spain. The fair majority of the Pendes' claim to fame it from the "Champagne of Spain": Cava. Cava is a sparkling wine that is made in exactly the same way as Champagne (bottle-fermented/methode traditionelle) just with Spanish grape varietals. Those white grape varietals are: Xarel-lo, Parellada and Viura and Tempranillo and Garnacha can be used for the roses.
