Product details
The vineyards are planted on red clay soils with underlying brown or crystalline limestone, with some schist outcrops. They thrive under a Mediterranean climate, with large thermal fluctuations and hot, dry Summers. After careful canopy management during the growing season, the grapes were hand-picked and transported to the winery in small crates. The grapes were sorted manually, destemmed and underwent pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation itself was carried out in “Lagares” and stainless steel vats with temperature control. After undergoing malolactic fermentation, the wine spent 18 months in new French oak barrels and one year old French and American oak barrels. Once bottled, the wine was then aged for a further 20 months in our cellar. In order to maintain its unique characteristics, this wine has not been stabilised and may create sediments naturally.
