Description
Selma de Nin Ancestral was born from the drive of Ester Nin and Carles Ortiz to capture the freest and rawest essence of the Selma landscape, in the Sierra de Montmell (Alt Camp, Tarragona). Here, in this high, windy corner of the Mediterranean climate, their biodynamically certified vines sink into clay and limestone soils, breathing a harsh, dry environment full of character. This wine, a Pét-Nat d'auteur, arises from the desire to create something lively, vibrant and without artifice. In Ester's words: "We wanted to bottle an instant from the vineyard, unfiltered, unadorned". The blend includes Roussanne, Marsanne, Chenin Blanc and Parellada, varieties that rarely coexist in a sparkling wine, but which here dialogue naturally.
Winemaking
The production of Selma de Nin Ancestral begins with a manual harvest, followed by direct pressing after a brief skin maceration. Fermentation starts spontaneously in used French oak barrels, without temperature control, respecting the natural rhythm of the wine. Before completion, Selma de Nin Ancestral is bottled to finish its fermentation in the bottle, according to the ancestral method. Without filtration, without clarification and with minimal sulphites, it rests on its lees for several months, which refines its texture and adds depth. The result is a lively wine, with natural bubbles and a wild soul.
Taste
Visually, Selma de Nin Ancestral is cloudy and luminous, with a fine, playful perlage. The nose is expressive but delicate: white fruit, ripe citrus, wild fennel and a slight hint of yeast. On the palate, Selma de Nin Ancestral reveals an electrifying acidity that cuts through the creamy texture with precision. Notes of pear, lemon, apple and brioche mingle with a mineral and saline background, evoking dry mountain soil. Long finish, with an herbaceous touch and a subtle bitterness that makes it tremendously gastronomic. A wine for curious palates, with a thirst for authenticity.
