Vinification of Nelin Blanc - Clos Mogador by Clos Mogador

The cultivation of the vines follows sustainable principles in the sun-drenched region of Catalonia. The Macabeo grapes grow in vineyards with calcareous soil, which enhances the terroir with characteristic minerality. The grapes are harvested by hand during the cooler nights to preserve their freshness and fruit aromas. After manual harvesting, only the best grapes are selected for further processing. Vinification takes place at controlled temperatures in order to optimally preserve the delicate aromatic compounds. After fermentation, the wine is matured in large wooden casks that promote gentle micro-oxidation and underscore the full-bodied flavor profile of the wine. During maturation, the wine receives special care to ensure its balance of freshness and complexity. Aging in large wood vessels brings out fine vanilla and roasted aromas, enriching the bouquet and rounding off the texture harmoniously. The wine matures for a total of around three years, which positively influences the development of bouquet and body and makes it a long-lasting companion. The careful vinification highlights the expressiveness of the Macabeo grape variety and lends the wine its vibrant, elegant character, which clearly reflects the terroir.
