Vineyards & Viticulture
Vines about 20 years old located in selected plots with white clay soils. The grapes are harvested early and 100% indigenous yeasts are used, maintaining a permanent vegetation cover on 50% of the surface.
Vintage 2024
The year was marked by the worst drought in 30 years in our area. With 70 litres of rainfall from November to May and 40 litres in June, the total for the rain season (November-September) was 247 litres. We have irrigation but, only to help ripening during Agust and Sepetember and hence we could not cope the deficit. Temperatures from June to August were normal. The yield was reduced for whites to a half and for reds by one third. There was no rain or other weather circumstances that caused problems during harvest.
Harvest
We carry out a precise and selective night harvest per plot. Harvesting in cool conditions helps us to preserve the aromas. The location of our winery within the estate favors a quality result since a minimum amount of time elapses from the time the grapes are in the vineyard until they reach the protected tank.
Winemaking Process
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts and working with the lees for several months. No sulphites are added during the process, keeping the tanks full and ensuring rapid fermentation.
Tasting Notes
Clear and bright pink colour, aromatic and fruity, mainly of red fruits. Smooth taste and fresh, with a crunchy well-balanced acidity with long finish.
Food Pairing
Grilled steak, lamb chops or grilled sausages. Grilled burger or spicy dishes like tacos with grilled meat. It also pairs well with different types of cheese like aged cheddar, gouda or blue cheese.
