Introductory notes

According to Roman mythology, the Column of Hercules was built by Hercules himself, near the Strait of Gibraltar. The Pillars of Hercules marked the end of the world as it was known at the time. The words "Nec Plus Ultra" were written on the pillars, meaning "nothing ahead" or "no more," serving as a warning to sailors and explorers not to go further. Jidvei's winemakers adopted this motto for their wine series "Nec Plus Ultra" and have worked for years to create wines worthy of it. Enjoy the results.

Tasting notes

Appearance

A vibrant greenish-yellow.

Nose

Fruit-driven with aromas of lemon, grapefruit, apple, pear, lemon peel, wet stone, and chamomile.

Palate

The palate is fruit-driven, with balanced acidity and a touch of residual sugar, making it easy to drink. Flavors of lemon, apple, and peach are present. It's off-dry with moderate acidity and medium alcohol content. Medium-bodied with a slightly long finish. It has undergone aging in large barrels, providing depth of flavor without heavy oak tones. There's also a milky texture and a hint of nuttiness.

Food pairing

Highly recommended as a wine for meals. Its versatility makes it ideal with seafood risotto, various appetizers, chicken dishes, assorted cheeses, and savory cheese pies.
