The vineyard

The grapes originate from pre-phylloxera vines of the ancestral "verdeja" clone, grown in sandy soils. This terroir yields low production and thick-skinned berries with excellent natural resistance.

Ideal combination

Fish

Fish pairs best with white and rosé wines: they don't overpower the taste and suit different cooking methods.

Match

Poultry

Poultry works with light white wines — Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc — or soft reds like Pinot Noir, Grenache.

Match

Cheese

Cheeses pair well with wine: hard cheeses with reds, soft and blue cheeses with whites and fortified wines.

Match

Winemaking

Following a gentle pressing of whole bunches, fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for about a year in a combination of French oak barrels, large wooden vats, and clay jars made from the estate's own clay.
