MARFIL WHITE CLÀSSIC 2011

The Alella Marfil “par excellence”. In the past, as in the case of Marfil Sec, it used to be produced through ageings of more than three years in enormous wooden barrels. Very ripe grapes from the highest vineyards were not entirely fermented, thanks to which this “demi-sec” type wine was created.

The market tendencies in the past few decades have gradually influenced the vinification techniques of this wine, and the long ageing in wood disappeared little by little. The amount of residual sugars dropped from 50 to 15 g/l, giving the more prominent role to the fruit, Pansa Blanca, which, without losing its strength in mouth, has gained in freshness and ripe, aniseed-flavoured, white fruit bouquets which, in certain years, are more tropical.

The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks on its own fine lees from November to February in order to give the wine more lubrication and volume, and to prepare it to improve its evolution throughout time.

Straw yellow with greenish reflections, clean, bright and transparent.

On the nose there is a high intensity of fruity aromas, highlights apple notes, sweet pear, citrus fruits and honey aromas.

In mouth the wine is more fragrant and fresh that is usual in Alella. The mouth is remarkably fresh and perfectly balanced with the alcohol. With great finesse and showing excellent persistence of flavour.
