Javier Sanz Dulce 50cl

Dulce de Invierno is a sweet and unique wine, the result of a mixture of Verdejo and Gorda de Moldavia (Muscat) grapes. Its sweetness and its amber tones are the result of three complex production phases: the freezing of the grapes, the natural drying in a dark leftover and the late harvest. After this arduous gestation, it rests for eight months in French oak barrels.

It shows a beautiful vivid gold color and on the nose it reflects an incredible variety of aromas of dried apricots, figs, and orange peel. In the mouth it is definitely sweet, with a broad and silky body that covers the palate with sweetness and an elegant and balanced acidity, with a subtle hint of wood. Served at a temperature of about 8 degrees, it is magnificent to accompany blue cheeses, soft pasta and foie. It is also recommended to consume it after meals, accompanying desserts with nuts or chocolate.

#Verdejo

Region

Trellised vines grown in the village of La Seca. What is most peculiar about this wine is the blend of Verdejo and “Gorda de Moldavia” a grape of Rumanian origin, very similar to Muscat.

Wine production

Two processes allow for the concentration of sugar and aromatic intensity in this wine. 1. The Verdejo grape is kept at a temperature always below -4oC for ten days. When pressed, the water remains frozen while the sugar is extracted. 2. Late harvest of the Gorda de Moldavia grape, which remains in the vineyard until harvested in December when its sugar content is higher. The must from these two processes is blended and rounded off with a period in medium-toasted French oak barrels.
