VINIFICATION

Manual harvest for boxes of 18kgs, with the grapes being carefully selected and destemmed in their entirety, then being gently pressed at low temperature. The must is statically clarified at 8º, so that alcoholic fermentation then takes place in French oak barrels at a controlled temperature of 14º, followed by a total aging of 10 months - 6 months with bâtonnage and 4 months on lees. To finish, it ages in the bottle for 2 months.

CHARACTERISTICS

Light notes of peach and plum blossom, with aromas of vanilla and almond liqueur. Mouth with fresh, elegant and enveloping entrance reminiscent of spring water. Complex and mineral with notes of granitic rock, notes of vanilla and green spices such as cardamom. Long, fresh and saline finish.
