Somontano, Spain
Primo-Paso Blanco is a blend of 60% Macabeo, 34% Chardonnay and 6% Gewurztraminer, vinified separately in either concrete or stainless-steel tanks. A portion of the concrete fermentations are skin contact and use wild yeast but most of the ferments are conventional.
The name Paso-Primero doesn’t quite translate to first step, though the story is of two people who dreamed about making their own wine, but never realised how far their dream would take them.
Tasting Notes: Bright, fresh and aromatic, with lovely citrus – lime – honeyed tropical fruit – white peach, nectarine – alongside floral notes – honeysuckle. Full enough to have some weight – generous sweet lychee, melon and pineapple flavours – but fresh enough to exhibit a lively crispness: vibrant, juicy and seriously drinkable side.
