Winemaking: The vineyards are at 710 meters above sea level, with a very cold winter and dry summer, warm by day and fresh at night, therefore the grapes, harvested by hand, mature very slowly. The fermentation room has small stainless steel deposits with automated cold-heat shirts. The barrels are in several rooms, at a constant temperature and humidity. The hand-harvested Macabeo and Chardonnay grapes are whole bunched pressed. The free juice went straight to the barrels for fermentation. After having matured for another 12 months, the wine was minimally fined and sterile filtrated before bottling.
Tasting note: With a deep straw color this wine shows citrus blossom aromas and hints of tropical fruits. A delicate use of new French and American oak results in a richly textured and creamy palate finishing with flinty minerality and refinement flavors. This wine is well-integrated and appealing for enjoyment now, but will continue to evolve over the next 3-4 years, developing further complexity.
