Los Bermejos Brut Nature Rosado
The grapes are very gently pressed in a pneumatic press, resulting in a very pale salmon-hued wine.
Fine and persistent bubble. The nose shows the complex amalgamation of fruity, citrus and floral notes, with those typical of aging on lees. On the palate it is sweet, fresh, broad, with a very pleasant and long-lasting finish. 2 gr/L sugar.
Owned and run by winemaker Ignacio Valdera, Bermejos is on the easternmost island of Lanzarote. Only 125km from the African coast, conditions here are extreme. A volcanic explosion that lasted from 1730-1736 covered the entire island in lava and ash 3-5 meters deep. Consequently, each vine must be planted in a hole or hoyo that breaks through that infertile volcanic crust of petrified lava to the organic matter that can nourish it. The wind, which acts as a natural fungicide, is so ferocious that each hoyo is surrounded by rock walls for protection. Yields are miniscule (16 hL/ha). All vineyard work is done by hand.
