Product details

Winemaking:
After careful and meticulous harvesting of the best bunches, the grapes were sent to a refrigerated container, where they spent 12 hours at 6ºC. The following day, they were transported to the winery in a refrigerated environment, where they were completely destemmed and crushed at the entrance to the fermentation tank. Fermentation took place in large tanks, with an optimal contact surface ratio and at a controlled temperature of 24ºC, with total fermentation for 20 days. After alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, two thirds of the batch aged in stainless steel on fine lees and one third in new French oak barrels for one year. After bottling, it rested for nine months in the bottle until being released onto the market.

Food Pairing:
Its floral and balsamic side combines perfectly with dishes where aromatic herbs and spices play a prominent role.
