MAURY WHITE wine

Naturally Sweet Wine 100% Macabeu DESCRIPTION Maury whites are relatively rare. Our white Maury is made exclusively from Macabeu grapes grown on our schist plots and harvested by hand when overripe. It is a very gourmet wine, which expresses the particular terroir of Devèze with notes of pears and white flowers. VINIFICATION Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand. The Macabeu grapes used in the composition of our white Maury are the last white grapes harvested each year. The grapes are kept cold in a refrigerated truck to retain maximum freshness and aromas. Direct pressing of the harvest is done with cold grapes. The musts are then settled naturally in the cold. After a 36-hour pre-fermentation maceration (at 10°C), alcoholic fermentation begins. Before the end of alcoholic fermentation (which is done at a controlled temperature), we ferment at a certain predefined density. The (neutral) alcohol thus added kills the yeasts before they have finished transforming all the sugars into alcohol, hence the presence of natural sugars in sweet wine. After mutage, the wine is cooled. TASTING NOTES Golden yellow color. The nose is expressive, predominantly fruity (pear) and floral (white flowers, broom, hawthorn), with discreet toasted notes. The mouth is balanced. It is a very gourmet wine. PAIRINGS Aperitif, foie gras, Serrano melon, or as an accompaniment to your cream-based desserts, pears, or with sugar crepes and lemon juice.
