Yursun Blanco De Lágrima

Yursun Blanco was born in 2013 from the idea of producing a wine without pretence: expressive, with its own personality, reflecting the purity of our vineyards and the freshness of the Upper Najerilla. To achieve this, we selected our finest parcels following a detailed vineyard classification process, with annual monitoring to determine quality and optimal ripeness. These are the first grapes to arrive at the winery each harvest - the most eagerly awaited - allowing us to craft a joyful, luminous, and delicate lágrima white wine that truly honours its origin.

Winemaking

Produced from a selection of vineyard parcels of the stated varieties, with exhaustive ripeness monitoring to determine the ideal harvest date and ensure optimal quality. The grapes are destemmed and cold-macerated at 5°C in an inert atmosphere. Only the free-run juice (“lágrima”) is used, which then undergoes flotation to ensure maximum clarity prior to fermentation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at temperatures not exceeding 16°C, followed by ageing on fine lees for five months.

Tasting Notes

Pale lemon-yellow in colour, bright, with subtle steel-like highlights. At the rim, the wine is almost transparent, showing a fine, elegant tear. The nose is intense and fresh, with floral notes, abundant white fruit, Golden apple, and citrus aromas of grapefruit and lemon. On the palate, the wine shows both volume and freshness. The initial sensation is a lively acidity on the tip of the tongue, opening into softer, slightly sweeter notes where apple reappears. The texture is silky, with gentle hints of banana and white flowers, citrus zest, and touches of pineapple. The finish is long, fresh, and highly enjoyable.
