Paul Cheneau Lady of Spain (2005)

In one of the oldest, richest and most fertile wine-producing regions of Spain (Penedès) is the Giro Ribot family-owned vineyard Finca El Pont. It is bordered to the south by the Mediterranean Sea with a continental climate.

Hand-picked grape harvest is from mid-September to early October. Fermentation takes place very slowly and at low temperatures to assist the generation of secondary aromas in the first fermentation. Ageing in the bottle for 2 years.

Straw-coloured with greenish tints. Small bubbles generating a gentle crown. Very clean and elegant fruity aroma with hints of a toasted flavour and a yeasty background. A touch of honey, almond and dried herbs. Rich and mature in the mouth. Delicious, lingering and strong aftertaste.

Ideal for lightly-seasoned foods, all kinds of fish, shellfish and poultry. A great aperitif and for cocktail mixtures.
