Rascaña 2019 Orange Wine Merseguera - Macabeo
Description
Concept
The complete fermentation with the skins transmits all the power of the varieties in this wine, where the Macabeu accompanies the Merseguera, which is still the protagonist. The acidity and minerality of the wine are the signature of Baldovar's terroir.
Viticulture
Ecological viticulture in conversion. No pesticides or fertilizers of chemical synthesis are used: we only treat vines with powder sulfur and a horse-drawn ecological preparation that we apply by hand. We do not use tractors in treatments to minimize the compaction of the soil.
Oenology
Minimum intervention in the cellar. No additives are added to the wine: we do not use clarifiers, enzymes, or yeasts. We only use a
minimal dose of sulfur (32 mg/l) to prevent oxidation and contamination.
Aging
Aged for 9 months in stainless steel tanks at full capacity. Aged with the fine lees worked very gently during the first 4 months of aging.
