200 Monges Blanco White wine

Discover the exquisite 200 Monges Blanco Gran Reserva, a remarkable white wine that embodies the essence of Spanish winemaking. Hailing from the prestigious Bodegas Vinícola Real, this Gran Reserva from the 2009 vintage is a celebration of quality and tradition. With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine is a result of meticulous craftsmanship and a dedication to the Viura grape variety, a native Spanish treasure.

The 2008 harvest marks a significant milestone as it was the first vintage crafted exclusively as a monovarietal using the Viura grape. This wine is sourced from two distinct vineyards located 50 km apart, nestled in the picturesque valleys of Najerilla and Iregua. The grapes were carefully selected from these regions, ensuring that only the finest fruit was used for this exceptional Gran Reserva. The production process began with a three-day maceration period in which the grapes were gently crushed but not pressed, allowing for optimal extraction of flavors and aromas from the skins.

Following this, the must was separated from the lees using a cold process. Fermentation began after five days, utilizing the indigenous yeast at a temperature of 16°C. The wine then matured in oak barrels for two years, allowing it to develop its complex character before being transferred to tank and finally bottled.

Visually, the 200 Monges Blanco Gran Reserva impresses with its brilliant golden hue. On the nose, it reveals an aromatic profile of dried flowers, ripe fruits, and wild herbs, accompanied by intriguing hints of iodine and nuts. The palate is a celebration of richness; it is meaty, powerful, and flavorful, with spicy notes and a refreshing citrus finish. The long, salty aftertaste lingers beautifully, making each sip a memorable experience.

Indulge in a bottle of 200 Monges Blanco Gran Reserva, and experience the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation that defines this exceptional wine. Perfect for special occasions or as a delightful companion to your favorite dishes, it is a true testament to the artistry of Spanish winemaking.
