Within your collection of Haute Couture and after having already released two editions of other wines, the winemaking family of Trujillo (Caceres) has released this summer a unique bottle in Spain. Because of Bodegas Habla and an underwater wine he is born Talk about the Sea, whose second fermentation takes place under water. Specifically, to 15 meters from the depth of the bay of San Juan de la Luz (Atlantic Pyrenees). This is a pioneering and innovative process to develop a white blend of four varieties with saline, mineral and seaweed notes.
This is Bodegas Habla and a different underwater wine
From start to finish, it is a product that aims to be a revolution in the wine sector. Because, first, does not come from vintage, and second, the patented underwater fermentation system is totally pioneering in our country. Thus, its base is a set of different white varieties that are born in vineyards of Atlantic coastal influence between Galicia, Cantabria, the Basque Country and Catalonia.
This affects the marking salty character having Bodegas Habla and an underwater wine different, with its first fermentation in the cellar, but that each year can vary. At least, in origin of grapes, varietals or percentages.
Then the main differentiation is in the morphology and unique organoleptic qualities which are the pure consequence of fermenting 15 meters below the Basque-French bay. The end result in Bodegas Habla and an underwater wine comes after five years of research that has already paid off with a initial limited edition that only lasted four months for sale.
Now, having been submerged in deposits of 300 liters from November 2018 to April 2019, this Talk about the Sea. A white that has the freshness of young wines but also the body, volume and unctuousness of aging wines, with good evolution in the bottle.
It has a lemon yellow color bright with steely undertones. On the nose, it already dazzles you with its aroma of the sea through a first saline note in memory of the shellfish to move on to another more vegetable, typical of seaweed. Hints of quince and chamomile appear later.
Then, on your palate it has a soft entrance, developing its expression with that acidity revealing of his marine essence. Its finish is fresh and floral with a salty touch. You can buy it now for a few 24 €.
