La Pamelita NV Sparkling Wine

Syrah 95% and Garnacha 5%

Pamela sources the fruit for this wine the best vineyards in Calatayud. The bush vine Garnacha comes from a small parcel that was planted in 1937 and of Shiraz that was planted in trellis with drip irrigation in 2002.

This wine is vinified in the traditional method for sparkling wines, similar to the method used in the Champagne area. The grapes undergo fermentation in tank with 7 days skin contact, which gives the wine its lovely red colour. It is fermented dry and then malolactic fermentation takes place and a further 6 month maturation whilst still in tank. As with Champagne, there is a secondary fermentation that takes place in bottle over a 36 month period.
