This wine has a feminine name: Missenyora was the old term of respect for the convent's abbesses. It is 100% Macabeo but with residual sugar, inspired by an old wine from this area. Savour it with mild dishes (appetizers, duck products, salty pastries) or dare to try it with extra-strong cheeses!
Varieties: 100% Macabeo.
Winemaking: fermented in oak barrels and aged on fine lees until the spring. Smooth, slightly sweet.
