Crafted with meticulous care, José Pariente Fermentado en Barrica reveals extraordinary nuances with a distinguished balance of fruit and oak. The grapes are sourced from old vineyards in the most characteristic area of Rueda, situated on quartzite stone platforms. Trained traditionally in a bush shape, these vines yield approximately 4,000 kilos per hectare. The harvest is carried out manually in 20-kilo boxes, allowing for an initial selection of grapes both in the field and in the winery.

During the winemaking process, fermentation takes place in new and one-year-old French oak barrels from various cooperages. Following this, the wine undergoes a process of batonnage for around six months, ensuring it remains in constant contact with its lees. After this maturation, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks, where it continues to develop for an additional five months before being bottled after clarification and stabilization.

Visually, this wine is brilliant with a golden yellow hue. The nose is intense and complex, offering a bouquet of spicy aromas, ripe fruits, smoky notes, and a subtle hint of wood. You'll also detect exotic fruit and mineral undertones, making it truly captivating. On the palate, it is voluminous, silky, and elegantly structured, displaying a powerful flavor complemented by excellent acidity that ensures a long and lively finish. The harmony between fruit and wood is beautifully reflected, with all the aromas perceived on the nose reappearing in the mouth.

José Pariente Fermentado en Barrica pairs perfectly with appetizers, fish in sauces, and intense-flavored seafood such as spider crab and gooseneck barnacles. It also finds an exceptional companion in Iberian ham and foie gras, making it a versatile choice for a variety of culinary delights. Indulge in this remarkable white wine and elevate your dining experience.
