Molino del Ciego 2020

Drawing structure from its 90-year-old vines, crispness from their proximity to the Atlantic, and tannins from modest skin contact during fermentation, Molino del Ciego is a Sémillon of stellar balance. Aromatically intense, it bursts with chamomile, white pepper, and quince, while the palate is both sharp and refreshing. Skin Contact wine, for 14 days durinf fermentation, from very old vines close to the Atlantic. The nose is an explosion of aromatic herbs like Chamomile, tisane, white pepper and quince. The palate has the strucure from the old vines and the tannins from the maceration, however, it shows sharp and refreshing at the same time.
