HORAFOSCA is a monovarietal white wine from Xarel·lo, originally from the "La Figuera" vineyard, located on the plateau of La Pineda in the Penedès.
This plot, planted in 1951, is characterized by a fertile and deep soil, and for an altitude of 250 meters above sea level, optimal conditions for the mineral and aromatic expression of this native variety.
The harvest is carried out manually at the end of September or the beginning of October, carefully selecting the grapes at their optimal point of maturation.
Once in the cellar, a cold skin maceration is carried out in the press, followed by gentle pressing to obtain a high-quality must.
After a low-temperature static demist, the must is alcoholically fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. Subsequently, the wine ages for 7 months in French oak and chestnut barrels, undergoing regular beating to integrate the fine lees and provide aromatic complexity.
Sensory profile:
On the nose, HORAFOSCA presents an intense and complex aroma, with citrus notes (lime) that evolve into stone fruit (peach) and toasted and spicy nuances, fruit of aging in wood.
In the mouth, it stands out for its vibrant and balanced acidity, which gives it great freshness and persistence. The presence of soft tannins, contributed by the fine lees, provides a robust structure and a voluminous body. The finish is long and persistent, with a return of the fruity and spicy aromas perceived on the nose.
HORAFOSCA is a versatile wine that perfectly accompanies a wide variety of dishes, from baked fish and seafood zarzuelas to white meats and soft cheeses.
It also pairs excellently with Iberian sausages and traditional dishes.
