Forlong 80/20 | Forlong

Bodega de Forlong is a creation of two young entrepreneurs, in love with wine. They created Forlong, a little winery dedicated to the production of high-quality wines, made in a total artisan way, so called “auteur wines”. They focus on the quality of the grapes instead of the quantity. Forlong is an organic wine on the vine and in the creation process. Also, the vineyard receives biodynamic care including the use of an astrological sowing and planting calendar which helps to achieve a perfect function of the plants and a high quality in the grapes. We focus on the primary aromas therefore preserving the terroir. Forrlong’s terroir is the “albariza” a limestone-based soil. We believe that the fruits of our labor should be something shared with others so that those persons can take part in our joy, our pride, and our sense of achievement through the pleasure of our wines.

Tasting Notes

In the visual phase we observe a slight turbidity but once we swirl the glass, the wine is very dense and we can see tears slowly gliding down the walls of the glass. It is balsamic, espressive, intense, with mediterranean notes like rosemary and thyme. Once we swirl the glass we can note the appearance of aromas such as flowers (rose), talc (chalk, chalky origin?) And citrus (similar to lemon zest) characterictics that make it fresh and at the same time inviting. We also note a chalky aroma which perfectly reminds us one of its origin, the “albariza” vineyard soil. It has a pleasant introduction with a density confirming that which we observe in the visual analysis. Its passage through the mouth reveals its salinity and it has a persistent aftertaste which invites one to continue enjoying this wine.
