Arribas Wine 'Belfo' Branco

This tightly wound, flinty, mineral top tier white hails from a single parcel of 70-90 year old field blend vines at 650-700m above sea-level with limestone and quartz in addition to the region’s typical decomposed granite. A fino-like touch of nutty lees and vanillin oak bring complexity to the fresh mineral palate. Intense, with a sustained finish. Only 1,800 bottles made. The label depicts a Mirandes donkey. Scan the QR code on the label to find out how to support this rare breed.

Field blend

Hand harvested into 20 Kg cases, foot trodding was carried out in the cellaer, followed by 6-8 hours of skin maceration (whole bunch) before pressing and racking into barrels. In those barrels (of french oak, 16 % new), the wine carried out the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations and aged for 10 months over its fine lees, without any disturbances.

Serve cold 10 -12°C
