Socaire Oxidativo

A Tribute to the White Wines of Yesteryear

Socaire Blanco Oxidativo de Albariza, reads the label of this white wine, made with Palomino Fino grapes by Bodegas Primitivo Collantes. This wine is a tribute to the white wines of yesteryear, fermented in American oak barrels and with a complex aging of up to 60 months, first in the barrel, then in the tank and finally in the bottle.

Production and Aging

Made from Palomino Fino grapes grown in Albariza soil in the Viña Matalián vineyards in Chiclana de la Frontera. Fermentation takes place in American oak barrels, where the wine is then aged for 24 months. Then, another 24 months in a stainless steel tank, and finally after bottling another 12 months, for a total of 60 months of aging.

Characteristics and Pairing

The result is a complex white wine, mature, with body due to the long aging but without the excess of wood that other wines present. It has a certain oxidized character - hence the name - and is labeled as Vino de la Tierra de Cádiz.

Recommended pairings: Rice, fish, tartar, octopus, salted meats.
