Spanish to English
Other
Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
CONTEXTO: tasting description of wines. Here, a brief background, before the details of tbe aromas etc. My problem is the "en dulce".
"Para que no falte la nota de dulzor nos trasladamos al Sur, a la DO Montilla-Moriles (Córdoba), con la variedad Pedro Ximénez y su vinificación en dulce. Cabe destacar la artesanía con que se obtiene este vino del sol, a partir de la variedad de uvas blancas Pedro Ximénez pasificadas en la pasera del lagar, sobre unos capachos de esparto."

when the grapes are vinified sweet
The clue is in the word 'pasificadas' which means leaving the grapes on the vine longer, also known as rasining and late harvesting.
There are several methods of producing a sweet wine, too complicated to go into here. But the method being referred to here is this.
“el vino dulce natural y otros tipos poco conocidos en el país, como el de uvas pacificadas (cuyas uvas se dejan secar en la vid o en los racimos maduros)”

“Finalizamos la cata con su Malvoisie también de 2006, que nada más llevarnos a la nariz nos inunda con notas de botrytis y de fruta confitada, un estilo de vino local de pinot gris que es apto para vinificación en dulce, muy dulce en este caso pero con buena acidez, graso pero fresco. Un nombre a seguir.”

"There is much discussion about both the residual sugar level and the ageing potential of Viognier. Old hands in the village of Condrieu remember a time when it was routinely vinified sweet."
http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/viognier.html
"Some other sweet wines are produced from grapes that are over-ripened, but not rotted. This can be done by simply leaving the grapes on the vine for longer than usual, or harvesting the grapes as normal but leaving them spread out to dry on mats so that they shrivel in the sun and air."

: although it's uncertain whether this is about raisining "on stock" or on gratings, straw, etc

thanks, Carol. I think the fact the text says the grapes are "pasificadas" suggests it is by leaving them longer on the vine.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for your input, ormiston. But what makes you think 'en dulce' is the same as 'gently' or 'carefully', Italian websites aside? |
