The harvest
Vinification
The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand in the early hours of the morning. After washing and refrigerating the grapes, we proceed to a rigorous selection. Vinification is carried out in a combination of small stainless steel deposits and open barrels where we pamper the maceration and take maximum care of the extraction, so that the wine has elegance, finesse and the silkiest tannins. Using gravity, without using presses, to avoid roughness and astringent tannins, we carry out malolactic fermentation in wood, either in barrels or in French oak wood vats. Fermentation: in small stainless steel tanks and in open barrels. Malolactic: in wooden vats and in barrels. Ageing in barrels: 15 months in barrels of 225 and 600 litres of French oak. The yield per hectare is 3.000 kilos. Organic farming.
The ageing
Later the wines will remain in barrels for at least 15 months. During this time we will carry out several racking’s by gravity. Altitude: 670 meters above sea level. Soils: scattered with slates and quartzite’s.
