"Nude" is a collaboration with "Thunder Wine Makers". The latter we also know from our Ginraw, which was co-crafted by them. Sergi Figueras, Spain's 1st sommelier, does the honours. Together with Augustus, they make wines here without maquillage, hence the name "Nude". Natural wine.
Vinification
The Sauvignon comes from a small 0.4-ha vineyard in Bonastre (Tarragona). 45% of must receives macération pelliculaire for 4 h. 25% of must receives the same treatment, but for 40 h. Part ferments in inox, another part in French oak of 2nd and 3rd years of 300 litres. No clarification, nor stabilisation. Elevage sur lies on barriques for 4 months. The final coupage includes 75% from barriques and 25% from inox.

To serve
Best to decant in advance. Then pour gently into a large glass at 12 to 14°.
Trial analysis
Quite cloudy at first sight (no clarification nor stabilisation). Very high intensity of aromas. Dense on the palate with lots of body. Structure with plenty of acidity, wood does not disturb at all, but gives nice underpinning. Perfectly balanced. Very original Sauvignon and serious length !
