The wine

First monovarietal of Rufete Blanco from the winery. Native variety of the Sierra and that, at the moment, does not appear registered in the catalog of varieties and therefore, is a finding. It has a very thick skin, late maturation and a dense and unctuous character in the mouth. The grapes come from three vineyards arranged on terraces: La Fuente del Laurel , Los San Sebastianes and Los Helechales .

White, amber yellow wine with golden trim. Clean and bright. In the glass, it is a wine of medium-high intensity. After stirring, a more complex wine appears in nuances, where we can appreciate aromas of lemon, quince and orange blossom. Light toasted notes and nuts. Bulky and dense entrance, acidity marked with a slight final bitterness that gives it length. It is a fatty and mature wine where we can appreciate light touches of butter and toast. This wine is the result of the attachment that the locals have to theirs and the preservation of authenticity as a motto.

NOTE: It came out of the PDO Sierra de Salamanca to be made with Rufete Blanco, native grape of the area and not yet registered in the Catalog of Vegetable Varieties of Spain.
