Description
Manual harvest in mid-August. The grapes are transported to the winery in 18Kg crates.
The winemaking process starts with the grapes cooled between-5oC to 0oC, avoiding oxidations. No sulphites are added.
Fermentation with the skins and later maceration for three weeks. Spontaneous clarification on its own lees while the wine rests in concrete egg-shaped tanks. The result is a white-orange wine.
All our wines ferment with its indigenous yeasts. No animal origin clarifying agents are used. The addition of sulphites before ageing and bottling is minimal.
