Description
Accumulated for many years in the development of multiple varietal knowledge, we present a wine where we blend the white varieties, Viñátigo Ensamblaje white and one in which we blend the red varieties, Viñátigo Ensamblaje red. Every year we use the varieties which we consider suitable and the proportion is determined by the weather conditions of each harvest.
Manual harvest. 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.
Each variety is vinified separately and they’re blended before bottling. Some of them ferment in stainless steal and concret egg-shaped tanks under temperature con- trolled conditions. Vijariego Blanco ferments over its own lees with bâtonnage in French oak barrels between four and six months.
All our wines ferment with its indigenous yeasts. No animal origin clarifying agents are used. The addition of sulphites before bottling is minimal.
