Cloudy pale gold hued and redolent of sophisticated mineral and lightly oxidative aromas, La Rumbera is a treat for fans of natural whites with unexpected depth and precision. A fuzzy ethereal mineral sensibility starts the party, closely followed by light whiffs of pistachio and almond, bay rose, sun-baked hay, and an elusive hit of Palo Santo. The palate shows varied citrus, pear, cantaloupe, subtle jasmine, and flint. The finish returns to the complexities of the aromas, with more incense-y notes, dried savory herbs, and a pinch of pithy citrus. This is a perfect pairing for all sorts of Iberian goodies. All sorts of seafood conservas will work well, as well as olives, firmer cheeses, broth clams or mussels.. you get the picture!
Practicing organic and biodynamic. 100% pansa blanca. 30-70 year-old vines. Foot-trodden. Half de-stemmed and left on skins for 3 days, half whole cluster and left on skins for 9 days. Then both combined and aged on the lees in stainless tanks for 11 months. Unfined and unfiltered. Zero added sulfites. Allela, Catalunya, Spain.
