Wein Flor Malvés Malvasía 2022

Flor Malvés is a white Malvasía wine that is the result of years of research and work, the first of a new collection called Vinos Ancestrales. 

In Flor Malvés they have tried to recreate the dry white wines that were made in the past, adapting to our times but being as faithful as possible to the ancestral way of making wine that in a way they have had to rediscover. 

In the past, the grapes were trodden with the feet and from the first must or must flower (without pressing) is where the dry white wine was made, as sweet wines were made from the presses and the must with more skins.

Once fermentation was complete, they were stored underground in the wine presses and sealed until they were ready for consumption. To avoid oxidation, they were kept with a large proportion of lees. In Flor Malvés we have emulated all these procedures with our current knowledge.

The result is a dry white wine, with predominant aromas from this ageing on lees (pastry, pastries, a touch of apple pie), very similar to the aromas we find in sparkling wines aged in the bottle using the traditional method.

On the palate it is a wine with great volume and very dry, with enormous gastronomic potential. It is a very distinctive wine that definitely links us to our origins and brings them up to date.

Vineyard

Malvasia vines located on mineral soil with high salinity, at an altitude of about 500 metres above sea level. Vineyard managed with traditional viticulture and minimizing the treatments on the vine with the ecological standards.

Vinification

Harvested by hand at the beginning of September, the grapes were kept for 7 days in a chamber at 1ºC and then pressed directly with a vertical press, extracting only the first must for this wine. It was fermented for 12 days at 15ºC temperature. After that, it was kept with its own lees in tanks for 9 months.

Flor Malvés is a very dry white wine with a silky mouthfeel that makes it a very gastronomic wine.
