Casa Balaguer Salicornio Malvasia 2022

Salicornio (Glasswort in English) is
a bushy plant that grows well in
salty, brackish soils. We have
chosen this name as it reflects the
saline characteristics of the grapes
that are grown in this particular
plot.

100% MALVASÍA

Winemaking: Hand harvested. Soft
maceration with gentle, skin
contact for 5 days followed by
spontaneous fermentation in
concrete vats with local yeasts.
Half way through fermentation the
wine is pressed and skins removed.
Aged on the lees for six months in
concrete vats under a cap of flor
(velo).

Tasting Note: Intense yellow in
color. Citrus fruits, peach and
orange peel on the nose. Full and
complex on the palate with a
pronounced saline character from
the salty soils. Medium bodied with
long dry finish. Ideal with array of
fishes, rices dishes, pastas or even
a selection of cheeses
