Clot d'Encis Vino Rancio

Clot d'Encis Vino Rancio is a 100% White Grenache wine.

TASTING NOTE
The characteristic colour of Terra Alta’s ranci wine is bright old gold. It is very intense in aromas and shows notes of nuts, citrus and dried fruits. We will find that pronounced intensity, freshness and long length on the palate.

AGING
Traditional aging of selected quality dry white wine in 46 oak barrels with a total capacity of 15.000 liters. All the barrels are subjected to the natural conditions of  temperature, light and humidity of the wine area of our winery. The original old sherry or solera is from 1962. Two periods of aging are carried out. The first is done in 28 oak barrels with capacities between 225 and 500 liters. Each batch of wine that results from these has aged for at least 3 years and serves to feed the solera formed by 18 300-liter oak barrels and one 500-liter one containing the oldest lees from the winery, from which the batch is made.

FOOD PAIRING AND SUGGESTIONS
It matches perfectly with caramelised nuts, sacher cake and can be also used to season fresh strawberries. It matches well with sweet flatbread and with a wide range of traditional Mediterranean sweet cakes and pastries. If you are brave, try it with roasted chicken. Once opened use the original cork to close the bottle and keep it out of light in a fresh and dry place. Serve fresh (12° C), preferably served in a sherry glass.
