Goru El Blanco | Jumilla, Spain
An aromatic white wine with Moscatel to the fore backed by the weightier character of Chardonnay.
The grapes are harvested at night, once they have reached optimum ripeness, enhancing thus an intense aroma. Low- temperature fermentation is carried out to preserve the individual aromas of each variety.
Ego Bodegas, now a decade old, is a boutique winery driven by three concepts – Ego, Talento, Infinito – which are: Ego, the concept of the self; Talento, the capacity for the performance or execution of an occupation; Infinito, the limitless power of the dream.
The intriguing Gorú image is that of a local character who lived as a hermit.
