Tomàs Cusiné Pell de Llop Tomàs Cusiné Pell de Llop is an organic and vegan white wine made exclusively with Macabeo grapes from vineyards located at 730 meters altitude in the DO Costers del Segre (Catalonia). This microvinification recovers ancestral skin fermentation methods, offering a modern interpretation of the local variety. Production is very limited and carried out with minimal intervention to preserve the purity and authenticity of the terroir.

Elaboration

The harvest was carried out manually on September 13, 2024 with a rigorous selection in the vineyard. The grapes are destemmed and fermented with their skins for 11 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature (16-20 ºC), with daily pump-overs. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is finished, the wine is racked and pressed. The wine rests for 6 months in a 3,200 L French oak foudre, without added sulfites. This traditional method provides structure, complexity, and a unique character.

Tasting notes

Golden color with amber reflections, with possible presence of natural sediment due to minimal intervention. On the nose, it is complex and changing, with notes of white flowers (orange blossom), white fruit (pear), citrus, and fresh herbs, with subtle oxidative nuances and saline touches. In the mouth, it has a voluminous texture, light tannins from the skin, and good acidity that balances the whole. Long finish with delicate bitter notes, ripe fruit, orange peel, and soft spices.

Pairing

Ideal with fatty fish, seafood, aged cheeses, dishes with mild spices, oriental cuisine, roasted vegetables, sea and land rice dishes, and white meats.
