Estival Bodega Pablo Fallabrino 2020

Estival, Bodega Pablo Fallabrino, Canelones, Uruguay, 2020   

Grapes: 60% Gewürztraminer, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Moscato Blanco, hand harvested and unoaked. 

Lovely floral lift of lychee and white orchard fruits aromatically with an engaging textural feel countered with an underlying vein of acidity that gives length and drive. 

The winery is located where the River Plate, the widest river in the world, meets the Atlantic Ocean. This region provides clean cool ocean breezes and an ideal climate for the maturation of wine grapes. With only 16 hectares, they practice sustainable agriculture with no insecticides and only a very low grade fungicide to control downy mildew. The winemaker, Pablo Fallabrino, a laid back good natured surfer, is the perfect catalyst to create a world class winery. His approach is not to over think the winemaking process; instead, he runs with his instincts, takes chances and makes extraordinary wines with his own personal signature.
