Vinification, winemaker's own words
Soils:
Clay, Limestone
Terroir:
La Nina’s vineyards average 725m above sea level, benefiting from the higher altitude and nocturnal breezes with a longer ripening season. The very low rainfall, dry climate and Solano winds in August and September help minimise disease. Manchuela soils are distinctly uniform, composed of lime- bearing clay and gravels to around 30cm over limestone, formed from marine sediments during the Miocene period. They are well-drained and mineral-rich, promoting deep root growth and balanced acidity in the wines.

Winemaker:

All the plots are harvested and co-fermented individually. Bunches are destalked. The must is macerated on the skins. Spontaneous fermentation from natural yeasts in 500 and 1000 litre tinaja clay jars, followed by pressing and malolactic fermentation. No fining and a light filtration before bottling. Aged for 18 months in tinaja clay jars with minimum 1 year in bottle before release.
