Grown on steep vineyards the grapes are handpicked and then sorted berry by berry and then transferred by gravity to tanks for fermentation. Ferrer Bobet practices strict organic viticulture with no insecticides, fungicides and herbicides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d pair this wine with anything &#8211; it was delicious all on it&#8217;s own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/FB1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/FB1.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.nataliemaclean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/FB1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/welainebruce\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.fyhz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-1\/p48x48\/74611531_10157269734820091_8255097816322408448_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&amp;_nc_oc=AQmgS30HeIdH6OPw7IzofHuYbLLd63moi9bXQWW8KPMheSdJMJmoMHxSkrPqxDTr4rU&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fyhz1-1.fna&amp;oh=f41a855ad44142f500a02227f990018f&amp;oe=5E537CD9\" alt=\"Elaine Bruce\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Elaine Bruce&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;Lori Kilmartin&nbsp;I can&#8217;t wait to try !!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beverly.asleson.1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.fyhz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-1\/p74x74\/31732361_106320316903443_4015218513890246656_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&amp;_nc_oc=AQkWpOXOP91e8mjH4wB1uxnIlxFqN-SeuQoi0NThDj4GKVoFG2Zj-_h32k0wVB786MA&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fyhz1-1.fna&amp;oh=aa0a38ae52a963fa0524280df69c1271&amp;oe=5E8826B9\" alt=\"Beverly Asleson\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beverly Asleson&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;Any new wines you\u2019d trying? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnataliemaclean%2Fvideos%2F10162890004175284%2F&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=267\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/anthony.white.545\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.fyhz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-1\/p74x74\/12321385_10207827087387401_1325265795742869962_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&amp;_nc_oc=AQlqo4_jS_2tZbdlXzU2i7jwC2pzeiVQJBYafqb098OovKIuIbYyLPhHzsGY2MvofIc&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fyhz1-1.fna&amp;oh=35d4eee4ea5b2d3cae4e08f7c147bd2b&amp;oe=5E86B6CB\" alt=\"Anthony White\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Anthony White&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;Looks like fun!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnataliemaclean%2Fvideos%2F10162889987995284%2F&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=267\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim Filipovic&nbsp;Nice way to spend an afternoon!!
