Features
La Caprichosa is elaborated exclusively with Verdejo grape from old vineyards, sowed in Gobelet system on gravelly soils, with low fertility. Harvest is made by hand, with a first selection of grapes in the own vineyard and then another one during its entry into the winery.
After grape stalking, a long after-fermentative maceration is carried on under low temperature (10ºC), bleeding after the bud must, which will be the only one used for this wine. The slow fermentation is made into stainless steel tanks, again under low temperature (14ºC), to keep the aromatic intensity. When the fermentation is over, the wine stays for three months on its lees, which are stirred periodically to achieve a major character and greasiness.
In its making the aromatic varietal elegance is preserved, as well as its structure and freshness, while the work with thin lees has stimulated the power in nose and the roundness in mouth. The result is an intensive and serious white wine, caressing and solid, full-bodied, expressive in flavours and very suggestive as a whole.
