Ànima Negra

Quíbia

Other White Grape or Blend

The exact recipe varies every year (of course!), but in general the wine is a blend of Premsal and Callet grapes fermented in cement vats and stainless steel tanks followed by several months of lees aging.

Tasting Notes

Straw-yellow in color, Quíbia displays seductive notes of white peach, lime zest, toasted hazelnut and brine. On the palate, this flavorful and full-bodied wine is rich and lighty tannic, but the crisp acidity and silky texture rounds it out beautifully.

Food Pairing

Pair it with seafood paellas or other flavorful dishes.
