    Vinification, winemaker's own words

    Soils:
    Slate
    Terroir:
    Steep, terraced vineyards planted on poor, rocky llicorella (slate) soils. This fractured slate retains heat and forces vines to root deeply, producing low yields and intense concentration. Mediterranean cimate with hot, dry summers, cool nights, and limited rainfall.
    Harvest:
    Picked by hand
    Fermentation:
    Steel (100%)
    Storage:
    Amphora (100%) 12 months
    Winemaker:
    PEP RIBA

    Hand-picked grapes by our team in 12 kg crates on 16 September, with a first selection in the vineyard and another in the winery. Fermentation is made using indigenous yeasts from the grapes in a 500-litre tank, where they are gently crushed for 20 days in order to obtain a subtle extraction. Afterwards, malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously and is followed by ageing in ceramic eggs.
