Bodega Raúl Moreno
A Contra Luz Palomino Fino
Andalucía, Spain
BIG citrus, tropical nose with some pleasant mustiness( Cognac)underneath. Very Palomino. Banana, Mango.
P: Round, no sharp edges, lush. Banana, citrus, no wood. Meyer lemon. Deliciousness.
@Delectable Wine This is the A Contraluz from Raul Moreno 2021.
Thanks@ Enramistas
70% of the must is aged in old chestnut ‘bota’ from Oloroso. 34 arrobas (700 litres) and the other 30% in a Cognac barrel. Reductive aging where the barrels are religiously filled once a week. week. Bâtonnage is not applied and reductive aging of the lees is sought. The wine is only racked once and for bottling. Seeking therefore to keep carbon dioxide in solution and do not add sulphur during aging.
