For the “Serious White Wine Dad”. Great Father’s Day gift!
⭐️Cabaler, Cesca Vicent, Priorat, Spain
Cabaler is 50% White Grenache and 50% Macabeu from 30 year old vines on a single estate, Mas del Corral. Harvest is done at the right moment controlling ripeness and tasting the berries according to variety, vineyard and style of wine desired to be produced. Grapes from small plots with low yields are hand-picked and carried to the cellar in small crates containing around 20 kg. The grapes are destemmed and slightly crushed before being pressed. The grape will macerate in the press with the skins for a few hours. It is pumped to the stainless steel vat where it remains at controlled cold temperature. The next day the wine is allowed to settle before racking off and the fermentation process will begin at 18 °C. Part of the wine will end fermentation in chestnut and new French oak barrels where bâtonnage with the lees is done twice a day. The rest of the wine stays in the vat in order to preserve freshness. A light filtering is done before the wine is bottled.
