El Grifo, Canari

Sweet white wine made from  Malvasía Volcánica grapes. After carrying out an oxidative ageing process of up to 65 years, the best vintages are blended to create a truly unique wine. Limited production of 823 bottles. 

PRODUCTION

This sweet, aged wine is our version of the famous Canari wines that were exported to England in the 17th century. To make it, we blended three batches from the 1956, 1970 and 1997 vintages. These were originally made by drying the bunches of Malvasía Volcánica grapes in the sun (the bunches were placed on mats for several days) to increase their sugar content through partial dehydration of the grapes.

After drying in the sun, the grapes were pressed, yielding only about 30%. Alcoholic fermentation was started using our own yeast. Fermentation of these wines was arrested through the addition of wine alcohol once the residual sugar had reached about 70 g/L. Afterwards, the different vintages underwent a lengthy oxidative ageing process in 500-litre  oak barrels.

TASTING NOTES

Colour: Amber, clear and bright. 

Aroma: Complex and powerful, with notes of ripe fruit, apricots, candied fruit, dried nuts and iodine due to the oxidative ageing process. Slightly reminiscent of mushroom and truffle.

Taste: Fresh, silky, pleasant in the mouth, with an acidity that makes it well-balanced and with a good body.
