Wine Description

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.

Acclaim
Anima Negra's 2009 Quibia is 85% Premsal (an indigenous variety) and 15% Muscat aged in cement tanks on its lees for 3 months. Medium straw-colored, it has a whiff of sea salt, assorted white fruits, and a hint of tropical aromas. Dry, concentrated, and spicy on the palate, it is well-refreshing and lengthy in the finish.
