Elaboration:

Selection of Prensal, Giró and Viognier plots with the aim of achieving a white wine for ageing, seeking complexity and structure. The native Prensal variety, subtle and herbaceous, comes from our oldest goblet-trained vineyards with lower yields, located in the original plot in the centre of the vineyard and cultivated respectfully since the 17th century. The Giró, a recently recovered local pre-phylloxera variety, is characterised by its greater aromatic complexity and better ageing potential than the Prensal, which allows part of it to be fermented in barrels. Viognier is the most suitable for barrel ageing and adds structure to the whole. The grapes are harvested by hand and the bunches are strictly selected and pressed at low pressures in a closed Inertys press. We are currently in trials with our own yeast fermenting at 15-16ºC for 35-40 days. Partially fermented and aged on its lees in 500 litre French oak barrels for 5 months. Very gentle filtration and low sulphur content.

Mouth
It is well-balanced and sapid, with a refreshing mineral entry and a certain creamy structure in the mid-palate that lengthens the aftertaste.
