The Rioja Satinela Semi-Dulce
This semi-sweet white wine is a standout in the Marqués de Cáceres portfolio, known for its vibrant fruitiness and refreshing acidity. Satinela Semi-Dulce appeals to those who enjoy a hint of sweetness without compromising on freshness.
Grape Variety: Verdejo
The Satinela Semi-Dulce is crafted primarily from the Verdejo grape, a variety celebrated for its aromatic intensity and crisp character. Although less common in Rioja, Verdejo brings lively fruit and floral notes that make this wine truly distinctive.
Crafting the Perfect Balance
The production of Satinela involves carefully timed harvesting to achieve the ideal balance between sugar content and acidity. Fermentation is conducted at low temperatures to preserve the wine’s aromatic profile, and it is halted early to maintain its desirable semi-sweet nature.
This wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, a method chosen to enhance its fruit-forward character. The absence of oak aging allows the pure flavors of Verdejo to shine through, resulting in a wine that is both vibrant and smooth.
