£16.10

Bodegas Bentomiz is a boutique winery in Malaga’s hills within sight of the Mediterranean sea. 80 to 100 year-old vines flourish in slate soils, benefitting cooling sea breezes.

The Pedro Ximenez grape, from the albariza soils of the region Moriles Altos, and the Moscatel de Alejandría from the slate soils of the Axarquía in Málaga, join forces in this Andalusian wine. The harvest takes place in August, when the grape is ripe but not over-ripe, to make sure a good level of acidity is retained. That is how we achieve a fresh and aromatic must that ferments at 15 degrees. After the fermentation the wine gets a 4 month period of ageing on the lees.

After a light filtering (there may be some sediment) the wine is bottled.

Tasting notes:

This is a young wine that is harmonious, graceful and full of subtleties.
Its aroma reveals juicy flavours of white and citric fruits, crunchy apple. Concentrated white blossom with a sweet background of fresh pineapple and ripe pear.
On the palate the wine is cheerful, mouth-watering and with an exquisitely smooth texture, enhanced by some mineral and salty hints combined with an excellent acidity.....with a long aftertaste that invites you to take another sip.

About PiXel:
- Jancis Robinson’s Purple Pages (Julia Harding 05.2021): 16/20 points,

“There’s a lot of wine, and a very interesting wine, for a modest price. The lee ageing has given a depth to the texture and the flavour.”
