Tandem 'Casual' Viura - Yerri Valley, Navarra, Spain

Producer's Notes:

Pretty yellow color with green rims, an elegant nose with white flowers, fennel, pear and green tea. In the mouth it is vibrant, fresh, mineral and enveloping. Fermented in stainless steel with its wild yeasts at 15-16ºC for 32 days, aging on its lees for 4 months at 16ºC.


What We Say:

An appealing example of modern Navarra white wine that's fresh and approachable, but with enough lees-derived texture and mineral character to make it considerably more interesting than a casual everyday white.
One of the most interesting aspects of this wine is its relatively hands-off fermentation. The Viura is wild-fermented in stainless-steel tanks, using yeasts indigenous to the region, at approximately 15–16°C. The balance between freshness and texture is the really appealing element. Viura can produce very straightforward, crisp whites, but the combination of older vines, spontaneous fermentation, and lees aging gives this wine more dimension.
