The wine
Monovarietal of straw yellow color with reflections of fine gold, clean and bright, agile in the glass, with good aromatic intensity, marked by the balance between varietal aromas of ripe fruit (peach, apricot, golden apple,...) and a bouquet of fine wood, represented with timid notes of nuts (hazelnuts, almonds) and elegant smoked; All an attractive aromatic range, on a shy floral, mineral and aniseed background. In the mouth, we enjoy a sweet entry, with a tasty and fruity evolution, under the watchful eye of the wood; good structure and fleshiness due to the work of the lees, boasting both a fresh acidity and smoothness. Long aftertaste, marked by a fine bitterness, pleasant creaminess and a dry finish.
It is a wine made with Macabeu from vines over 35 years old, harvested by hand, pressed directly, and at the end of fermentation, aged in new and old 300-litre French oak barrels for approximately 4 or 5 months depending on the year, with a continued weekly batônnage, which helps the wine to conserve and grow inside the barrel. Later, they let it rest for a minimum of 1 year in the bottle before going to market, after this time the integration of the acidity, the barrel and the fruit is fantastic, right?
The Winery
Let yourself be surprised by l'Apical, a project that was born in 2012 in Penedès, by Sergi Sevillano, Martí Giralt and Josep Badia.
The idea of l'Apical has always been clear: Work with the native varieties of the Penedès; where the influence of the sun and the Mediterranean Sea make it a privileged territory for growing vines.
A very interesting project, aligned with the evolution of the new generations of the territory. Combining old vines and younger vines, they make wines full of love, dedication and tradition. What more could you want?
