Trough organic viticulture andrespectful winemaking, we produce winesof great purity, reflecting the uniquepersonality of our land and grape varieties.

Theregion’s continental climate with sunnydays and cool nights allows us to achieveintense fruit and excellent varietaldefinition, while retaining remarkablefreshness. Grapes were picked at night andin the early morning hours and shippedquickly to our state-of-the-art winery for ashort prefermentative cold maceration,followed by pneumatic pressing andfermentation in stainless steel vats ataround 16ºC, to preserve fruit characterwithout producing excessive secondaryaromas. Malolactic fermentation wasprevented by chilling. Wines remain ontheir fine lees for a minimum of 2 monthsbefore bottling.
