The vineyard
The grapes originate from old vines, many over 80 years old, located at an altitude of 860 meters in La Aguilera. The clay-limestone soils with pebbles and a northern exposure bring natural freshness to the organically farmed vineyards.
Winemaking
Traditional methods are used, including whole-cluster fermentation in concrete tanks and foot treading. Following a slow malolactic fermentation in wood, the wine ages for 16 months in French oak vats without fining or filtration.
