WHITE WINE
Son Naava Cuvée Blanc 2023

Rose Merlot offers a delightful alternative to traditional red and white wines, combining the fruity flavors of Merlot with the freshness and vibrancy of a rosé.

VARIETIES

HARVEST
The summer of 2023 was dry and hot, which brought forward the harvest of the varieties to the beginning of August. That same year 2023 there were no pests due to the drought and the high temperatures and, therefore, the grapes were in perfect phytosanitary condition.
ALCOHOLIC CONTENT
13.5% vol.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
The grapes were selected and harvested by hand in the vineyards near the winery, in Porreres (Mallorca – Balearic Islands). Traditional methods were used without adding yeasts or bacteria, only with spontaneous fermentation respecting the rules defined by Demeter. The temperature-controlled fermentation of the varieties in stainless steel tanks was carried out separately, blending them at the end of the process.

Nose: High intensity, floral and tropical aromas such as banana (Chardonnay), lychee (Viognier). On the finish it leaves pleasant balsamic and heathery hints, typical of the Sauvignon Blanc variety.
