Laventura Malvasía 2014
Descripción
Byran MacRobert define este vino como "un experimento que ha salido bien". Procede de una viña peculiar cuyos frutos tardan en madurar un par de semanas más de lo habitual. Su elaboración también es original, ya que está hecho como si se tratara de un tinto, macerando con las pieles durante casi un mes y criándose en un "huevo" de hormigón durante un año sin adicción de sulfuroso. Un vino salino, con un perfil oxidativo y notas de membrillo, melocotón y manzana asada. Apenas se han elaborado algo más de 700 botellas en esta añada.

Opinión de los críticos
"There is one 'orange' wine fermented and macerated with the skins and without sulfur, the 2014 Malvasía, which is an almost experimental white from a vineyard in the village of Leza. The grapes fermented in an egg-shaped cement vat in contact with the skins for a couple of weeks, the objective was not to produce a very extreme 'orange' wine, but looking only for an oxidative touch in absence of oak (with the idea to get a wine that could handle cheese and other food). It was kept in the egg with the lees for one year before it was bottled in August 2015. It doesn't have the tannin and the excess of skin aromas that I often find in this style of wine; it's a lot subtler and still respects the character of the grape, with a hint that maybe made me think of some whites from Jura (think Ganevat). The palate has consistency to stand up to white meat dishes. This is certainly a new way for Rioja white, a style of wine perfect for food".
Malvasía 100% auténtica, perfil oxidativo, nada que ver con las malvasías industriales
Un blanco de Rioja diferente y muy interesante. Déjalo airear y se triplicará el placer.
