La Zorra Teso Rufete

2019 Vintage- Grown in the Las Batuecas Sierra de Francia Natural Park, a UNESCO protected as a national park biosphere reserve, near the Portuguese border due west from Madrid. Rufete is more commonly seen across the border, in the Douro or in the Dao. It is a thin skinned variety that produces lighter bodied, fresh wines with a delicate spice and savory tones. Think of this like Spanish Schiava, it too is grown in the mountains, these vineyards are located at 850 meters. This is an incredible aperitif wine, ideal with Jamon. The grapes are organically grown. 20% of the bunches were fermented whole cluster ,the rest were destemmed. After fermentation the wine aged for 4 month in used French and American barrels.
