Description:
Capellania is made from Viura grapes, a white variety obtained from Capellania vineyard, a 6 hectares plot located at the highest altitude of the Ygay Estate. Thanks to this altitude, the great quality of its calcareous soils and the low yields obtained from the 70 years old vines, this variety reaches its maximum potential.
Every single step in the winemaking of Capellanía is aimed to reach the maximum expression of the variety: manual harvest, sorting table, low temperature fermentation… Its balanced ageing for more than 12 months in French barrels provides the wine precision and makes Capellanía an incredible gastronomic wine.
Tasting Notes: It shows a bright yellow colour, the nose discovers a versatile array of aromas like apricot, brown icing, honey, toasted almonds and spices, all accompanied by a pleasant freshness and creamy roasted aroma. The palate is broad, fleshy and velvety, with a long, lingering finish.
