Terroir:

Angelita comes from a plot of 29 years planted in 1994 on trellis by the family. The vineyard has 300 28-year-old plants in Chardonnay with characteristics of the main terroir of boulder and clay at 900 meters of altitude and with east orientation. Very low yields are obtained in very small clusters, so the concentration and maturation is high.

Old oak (100%) 12 months

The grape harvest 100% Chardonnay was made at the beginning of September. At the entrance to the winery, the grapes are destemmed on the press and immediately pressed manually to obtain the juice directly with a yield of around 60% of the volume. The must is unraveled with the application of low temperature for 24 hours. After 24 hours, it is decanted for clarification and is transferred and left ready for fermentation. Fermentation begins in stainless steel tank. As soon as the fermentation is stable and the 225-litre barrels of used French oak are covered, so that the alcoholic fermentation ends. During the aging in barrels, periodic movements of the lees are carried out, thus ageing on them, looking for a structural contribution and good body. After 12 months in the barrel it is clarified and bottled.

The grapes are stepped by feet in traditional way and then paced into the stainless-steel tank where the spontaneous fermentation starts after a few days in cold maceration. The fermentation with autochthonous yeast is combined with daily movements two times a day in order to homogenise the deposit and make the fermentation easier. The malolactic fermentation is done slowly in the 225 litre barrels, old barrels to avoid too much woody taste and keep the natural flavours. The ageing is done for 12 months and several decantation processes are carried out, so the wine is naturally filtered before being bottled. The bottling is done in January and bottles are kept resting without movements for some months, so the characteristics are integrated before going on sale.

The wine harvest is carried out manually, carefully selected in 20kg baskets. The destemming process takes place at the winery’s entrance, and then pressed to initiate fermentation in stainless steel vats. The harvest begins early, with the aim of finding the appropriate balance between acidity and freshness. The grape juice is cleaned at low temperature for 24 hours. A wine which matures with its fine lees for six months in French oak barrels, at the end of which it is decantered and mechanically filtered. After that it is bottled and left to rest in boxes. After 8 months it is bottled and left to rest in boxes.

The grapes enter the winery once the stems are mature and then they are stepped, following the traditional method, in a stainless steel tank. The fermentation is started by the autochthonous yeasts at the ambient temperature. Every day the wine is moved up in order to help the fermentation and get the wine aired. When the alcoholic fermentation ends, the wine is racked and decanted to obtain the clear product which will go into the barrels. The ageing in barrels lasts 12 months in medium toasted 225 litre barrels. During the ageing, rackings are done as necessary. The intervention on the wine is keep as minimum during all the elaboration. The bottling of the wine is done after 18 months of ageing and then the wine is placed in wooden shelves where it stays for another 12 months. The total ageing time is 30 months before it enters the market.

Terroir:

VI LOF is elaborated with the selected grapes from two of the family plots. The plot of “Los Cobos” in the spot of “El Foco”. The clayey soil and the south orientation make a structured wine with red fruit flavours due to the easy maturation. The 70% come from this plot while the other 30% come from other spots in Valtuille. Clay and boulder predominate in the area with different orientation and higher position so freshness and balanced acidity are detected from the wine from this plot.

The grapes from each one of the plots are elaborated separately in stainless steel tanks with spontaneous fermentation with natural yeast from Mencía. During the elaboration there is a definition of the contain of whole clusters for each plot. Once the fermentation is finished, it is aged separately in French oak barrels for 12 months, never new barrels to avoid an over woody flavour. During the ageing time some decantation is done in order to aerate the wine and natural clean it. There is no other filtering process done before the bottling so we try to enhance the structure and complexity. After 12 months of ageing the coupage is done from the selection of the barrels. The bottling is done in January and bottles are kept in rest without movements for some months, so the characteristics are integrated before going on sale.
