Description

The Menhir Passito Liquor Wine, produced by the Martinez winery, is a refined example of how tradition can meet innovation. This wine is a 500ml passito that impresses with its aromatic richness and its distinctly sweet taste, well balanced by an acidic streak that makes it pleasantly persistent on the palate.

The Menhir is produced following a meticulous process of grape selection, which are left to naturally wither, thus concentrating sugars and aromas. The careful winemaking and the long maturation in selected containers give this wine a unique character. The color is an intense golden amber, promising delights of candied fruit, dried apricot, honey, and spicy notes that are revealed to the nose.

On the palate, the Menhir Passito Liquor Wine offers a velvety texture and a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, with a long and pleasantly warm finish. It is ideal as a meditation wine or to accompany blue cheeses, desserts based on fruit or chocolate, and even foie gras.

This wine is also an excellent choice for a gift, thanks to its elegant packaging and its ability to surprise and delight even the most demanding palates. A true gem from the Martinez cellar, the Menhir is a wine not to be missed for lovers of intense and aromatic passitos.
