Bodegas Cota 45 UBE 'Maina' 2018 (extremely limited)

Bodegas Cota 45 UBE 'Maina' 2018 (extremely limited)'Maina' is a north facing vineyard of old Palomino vines near the Atlantic. It is planted on Tosca de Barajuelas, the albariza chalk that is the most rare and most prized. Barajuelas is known as the 'deck of cards' for the way it is layered, and it is full of marine fossils. Wines planted on Barajuelas, like 'Maina,' are special because of a bewitching mixture of power and finesse. 'Maina' spends two years on the lees and additional time in bottle

The clusters are direct-pressed and spontaneously fermented in tank

It's meant to help small Kosher producers connect with congruous consumers who value transparency

The pinnacle of Patrice’s lineup - this is serious stuff

Distilled from primarily Folle Blanche with some Ugni Blanc

Not quite an 'orange' wine

I've looked at some pictures of the place

or mixed in a cocktail

it has a lot of enticing orange and lemon notes on the finish
