Description
The vineyards are primarily in the Salnés Valley, an average of five kilometres from the sea. The soils are granitic and the vines are trained on a traditional horizontal trellis system known as 'Emparrado' which is similar to pergola. The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and then gently pressed. The wine was then fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel vats at 16-18ºC and underwent partial (60%) malolactic fermentation. It was then aged for four months on its fine lees. Wet stone, citrus and peach fruit mingle with bright acidity.
