Musa Noctuaria 2020 Verdejo, Spain

Description

As if multiple 90+ point awards and Gold Medals were not enough, Musa Noctuaria has once again unveiled a captivating new release. Our 2020 Verdejo is balanced and complex, with concentrated flavors of candied fruit and citrus. Our Spanish winemaking partners harness the power of sandy soils with pockets of clay. These sections of slow-draining soil capture what little rainfall this region offers and hold onto cool, nighttime temperatures long after the hot summer sun emerges. This results in an elegant yet fruity wine style with an intense aromatic lift. The winemakers then accentuate these qualities by fermenting the wine slowly in stainless steel at cool temperatures for 15 days, further preserving Verdejo’s beloved varietal characteristics. This wine is at its best when served well chilled. Pair it with grilled chicken or shredded pork sprinkled with salty cheeses like feta or queso fresco to amplify its fruity character.
