Nota de cata de Malvasía Lías 2018

At sight it stands out for its straw yellow tone., with light golden tones. It's clean and bright. As for its aroma, It is of medium-high intensity typical of a wine in evolution. If you like fresh fruit, citrus (orange peel) y tropical (passion fruit, mango), also flowers (noon, jasmine, violet), fennel, and complex aromas such as flint or flint (match). The autolysis of the yeasts recalls aromas of bakery and yeast. Besides, aging in the bottle causes traces of dried fruits, honey and caramel.

Malvasía Lías 2018 captivates the palate due to its large volume -due to the mannoproteins of dead yeasts-. The passage in the mouth is long, unctuous and with very marked final acidity with citrus freshness, highlighting mineral and slightly saline notes. The ending is persistent.
