Gewürztraminer

The grapes come from parcel 230 in Valle de Enate, whose fresh, deep, franco-sandy soils are less calcareous. The continental climate near the Pyrenees and the marked difference between daytime and night-time temperatures encourage slow ripening. The vintage was fermented in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 15 °C; no information is available on the duration or on spontaneous fermentation. In the glass, it shows floral and spicy notes, along with rose, lavender, lychee and stone-fruit aromas. On the palate, it is mellow yet lightly structured, with moderate acidity and a long finish. ENATE also highlights an unusual ageing potential in bottle.
