Emina | Rueda 2006

PV Tasting Notes

Pale straw with green hues, quite lively and also bold, this fruity white, shows vibrant acidity, some slight grassy herbal notes, kiwi, papaya, peach, pear aromas and flavours based on a solid structure, finishing on a slightly bitter almost fennel tone which adds further complexity.
Made at one of the "Worlds Top 100 Wineries"

A beautiful wine which could easily sell for double the price, would suit all manner of light Tapas dishes, Escabeche of Sardines, fried Squid, Risottos, roasted Sea bass, Valencian Fish Stew, Paella, tortilla, Andalusian Pork, garlic soup or even roast halibut with butter beans and chorizo.

Bodegas Emina is an exciting new development of the Matarromera Group, reviewed in 2006 as one of the top 100 wineries of the world. The newly built winery, is truly “state of the art”, in fact, during all my travels around the world, never have I seen such superb wine making facilities. Their policy is to make wines of a world class standard, as commitment to this policy, they did not make any wine in 2004, they felt the base product was not up to their demanding standards. The company is leading the way forward in many aspects of wine production, not only in wine production, but also in cosmetics, produced from the left over material, skins, seeds etc. Through a massive research programme they have developed new polyphenols which act on skin with some 30% more anti-oxidant power that deter cells from aging. They now also produce for both men and women, a range of products including moisturising creams, exfoliants and aftershave, all from grape extract!

Average age of the vines: 10 years.
Type of Harvest: hand-picked
