Description of Marques de Riscal Sauvignon Blanc

French variety Sauvignon Blanc, with which Marqués de Riscal elaborates this monovarietal, has its origin in the region of the Loire. It was introduced by Marqués de Riscal in Rueda in 1974 and nowadays the winery has 70 hectares of vineyards in property with an average age of more than 25 years. It is currently one of the varieties authorised by the Rueda Denominación de Origen thanks to its great adaptability to environment and its capacity to produce white wines of great aromatic intensity, good acid balance and minerality. Marqués de Riscal Sauvignon follows the same winemaking process as the Rueda Verdejo.

Making notes

The Marquis of Riscal Sauvignon follows the same process of elaboration that Verdejo. After a cold maceration period and after the extraction and clarification of the must, the slow fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature between 13 ° C and 15 ° C, to protect the primary aromas so peculiar from this variety. Once the fermentation is finished, the wine remains in contact with its fine lees, with the intention of increasing the sensation of volume in the mouth and improve its capacity for aging.
