WINE DESCRIPTION
Bodegas Ponce Gulp Hablo Verdejo - Sauvignon Blanc presents a harmonious blend of Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc. This offering, however, distinguishes itself by embracing an orange wine approach, through a week-long maceration on the skins. The result is a wine brimming with aromatic nuances of orange blossom and tropical jackfruit, complemented by moderately tannic dried citrus peels, tea, and preserved apricots on the yeasty, textured palate. Certified biodynamically farmed grapes underpin the wine's ethos, ensuring the absence of pesticides or insecticides in the farming process. Native yeast fermentation, steel tank aging, and minimal intervention in bottling, which occurs slightly hazy without fining or filtering, underscore the wine's commitment to purity and minimalism, with only a minimal degree of sulfites added. *Please note this wine exists in 1L format*
