3+4VictoriaTorresPecis

<p>A first release for Viki – 3+4 is an experimental blend of Listan Blanco and Malvasia seeing extended aging in old barrels. An explosion of flavour with mild oxidative notes. It’s like stepping into a tea shop. A brilliantly intense colour. On the nose there’s wild herbs, pink grapefruit and peach. On the palate, the wine immediately bursts with plenty of salty-chalky minerality and a fresh acidity. The 3+4 has a very well-integrated creaminess and a good texture. The wine’s name is derived from two chestnut barrels, numbered 3 and 4.</p><p>The 50-120 year old, ungrafted vines are harvested by hand, gently pressed with whole bunches in the cellar, and vinified using different methods. The young wine matured on its fine lees until 2020 , before being bottled unfiltered and unfined . After six years, this captivating blend is released, delivering several “wow” moments! Limited to 1386 bottles – better be ready!</p><p>La Palma, the northwesternmost Canary Island, is a remarkable island known for its striking altitude variations and diverse geological landscapes, making it a fascinating historic viticultural hotspot. Its isolation has meant that the vineyards were mostly sheltered from the phylloxera infestations that wiped out almost all European vines in the early 20th century, meaning the island has many vines dating back all the way back to the 1800s. Victoria Torres Pecis is now the fifth generation of her family’s winemaking legacy, and maintains 7 hectares of vineyards planted with native Canary Island grape varieties. With a focus on organic and low-intervention winemaking, the production is limited and highly sought after, and Victoria’s wines achieve a level of purity and intensity that very few can match. </p><p>Origin: La Palma, Canary Islands, SpainVintage: 2018Grape varieties: Listan Blanco, MalvasiaFood pairings: Aperitif, baked oysters, mild curriesBottle size: 75clABV: 13%</p><p>ORGANIC/ NATURAL/ LOW SULPHITE/ VEGAN</p>
