Malvasía from organically grown vines
Bright yellow with green tinges. Very intense and complex with a wide range of ripe fruit aromas (lychees, peach, red apples), and reminiscent of orange blossom. Rich and aromatic, smooth and fresh with a long finish.
Murviedro is the project of three 'soul brothers' Marc Grin, Pablo Ossorio and Rafael Navarro who always dreamed of growing vines and making wines - and is named after their nationalities! Their objective is simple yet ambitious: to make masterpieces, distinctive yet accessible to the consumer. "A good wine, in order not to be out of tune, has to come out of the bottle like a symphony in which each instrument has its place," they say, and you can't argue with that!
The Cañada La Torre plot is situated in the western of Valencia between Fuenterrobles and Utiel at 1090 meters of altitude.
Silty sandy soil. 27-year-old Cordon Royat trained Malvasia vines on trellis. 2 Ha rectangular plot with a trough in the centre surrounded by almond and holm oak trees.
Cultivation and production with minimum intervention, seeking to reflect all the terroir potential. 12-hour cold maceration precedes a gentle press. Natural yeast fermentation at 18ºC for 20 days. Wine is protected from malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats where it's kept on its lees for 6 months, with a 2-week stirring. Transfer to 5,000-litre French oak Foudre for 4 months before bottling.
Simply grilled Scallops or Thai influenced cuisine.
