Freixo Special Edition Riesling 2020
Riesling is one of the most original varieties in the world, and here in a special environment influenced by Serra d’Ossa, it is expressed with even more originality, with floral notes of white flowers, exotic fruit and some apricot. In the mouth it has a vibrant acidity, which gives it tension, all in harmony. Very elegant and intense finish, with a mineral note emerging.

WINEMAKING AND AGING
Wine produced exclusively with the German Riesling grape variety, in a vineyard mostly with granite soil on a gentle slope. Manual harvest with selection of the best grapes. After a slow fermentation at low temperature to maintain all the aromatic load, it is aged in stainless steel to preserve its freshness and the most delicate notes, with batonnage for 5 months. The prolonged aging in the bottle of at least 12 months enhances the complexity and elegance.
