- Vinification:Manually harvested and transported to the winery in plastic crates of 15 kg. Upon arrival in the winery only the best grapes were carefully selected. The first 2/3 of fermentation took place in concrete vats (with controlled temperature of 12ºC – 14ºC). The last stage of fermentation was done in new and used French oak barrels, at a temperature of 16ºC, during 18 days
- Ageing:After fermentation the wine was left in the barrels, where the dead yeast was moved every week – battonage – during 8 months. New barrels in French oak – 50% Used barrels in French oak – 50% (Barrels with acacia wood tops – 5%)
- Tasting notes:
Color: Bright citrine. Nose: Notes of citrus and tropical fruit, combined with notes of toasted wood from the barrels. Mouth: Marked by strong mineral notes and some salinity, characteristic of the terroir. The fruit and wood notes form a perfect combination, resulting in an ideal natural acidity and giving it great balance and longevity for ageing in the bottle
