GRAN CERDO BLANCO, 2020

TASTING NOTE Pale colour, very fresh with good acidity, like a crisp green apple from the Viura. The slightly floral nose comes from the myriad of experimental white varieties in the blend.

GRAPE/BLEND 95% Viura, 5% mix of grapes such as Muscat, Tempranillo Blanco, Riesling, Petit & Gros Manseng, Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo.

FOOD PAIRING Ideal as an aperitif or with pasta.

VITICULTURE Most of the vines were planted by Gonzalo’s father 40 years ago. For white varieties (Viura) they still use bush vines. As the local varieties are very productive, hydric stress is important to have more concentrate grapes, they never water this vineyard. Yields 52 hectolitre per hectare
