Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soils:
- Clay, Limestone
- Terroir:
- Soils are clay and with a shallow limestone layer at a depth of 70 cm, caused by natural leaching on the top of soil. This develops short roots in the vines, providing fewer bunches that are well aerated and produce short yields
- Harvest:
- Picked by hand
- Fermentation:
- Steel (100%)
- Storage:
- Old oak (50%) 6 months
Steel (50%) 6 months - Winemaker:
- Juan Bautista García
Grapes are fermented in a 10.000L stainless steel tank. after fermentation, 50% of the wine is aged for six months in stainless steek tank in contact with its lees and the other 50% is aged for six months in second use French oak barrel, also in contact with its lees. this "blend" is bringing the freshness of young wine and the structure of crianza wine
