La Magendia de Lapeyre Jurancon 2019 37.5cl

La magendìa, that comes from the word “mage” which means best in Occitan. Made from 100% Petit Manseng grapes picked from November even sometimes into December depending on the year. These grapes are red and golden in color with some withering leading to a heavenly sweet and lightly acidic product. This withering is the result of warm french weather and winds from the south. The grapes are then slowly pressed over a long time period as they have less juice to extract than ripe and plump grapes that would have less natural sugars. The extract juices are then aged for 12 months in oak barrels and then vats for another year.

On the palate there is flavors of sweet fruits such as mangoes, grapefruit and bananas. On the nose its light floral and highly fruity. The perfect after dinner aperitif, dessert wine or pairs well with white peaches and rich cheeses.
