Supernova Blanc
Learn More About This Wine
The greatest old-vine moll plots from bush-trained vines planted in the 1950s in the villages surrounding Binissalem, notably the village of Santa Maria, are the source of the flagship Supernova Blanc.
In terms of vinification, the must is kept at cool temperatures for four days to allow the gross lees to spontaneously separate after it has been manually harvested in small boxes. The wine is mostly fermented in stainless steel tanks with 20% in 500l French oak barrels. The wine is clarified with bentonite before being bottled following five months of ageing on the lees and three months of stirring in barrels.
Citrus, chamomile, fresh herbs, fennel, and white fruit notes give this medium-bodied, complex island white a terrific sense of freshness. At bottling, wines are produced with little interference and little sulphur. Since every bottle at this garage winery is sold every vintage, production must be extremely limited.
