Bhilar, Kha Me 2023


DOC Rioja

Grapes are pressed and fermented for several days, after which they mature for 18 months in a terracotta amphora. Clear, radiant white wine. A tremendous impression of freshness on the nose. Everything is white—the fruit, the flowers. Vegetal and mineral notes. Delicious with asparagus, whitefish, shellfish, gazpacho, hard cheeses, olives, and lamb shoulder.
