VINEYARDS
The slightly acidic plots with a clay-loam texture were carefully selected. They are arranged on slopes, which helps us to have good drainage and aeration, thus favoring the good management of viticulture in the face of an Atlantic, humid and temperate climate with a rainfall of around 1200-1500mm per year.
A region with less luminosity due to clouds and condensation, the vineyard receives more insolation thanks to being in plots with a special orientation and conduction. The vineyard is trellised (something unusual in the appellation) seeking maximum sunshine to obtain better parameters of quality and ripening of the grapes,
In short, a sustainable viticulture that, without using herbicides, seeks a suitable microclimate to avoid the development of fungi and that together with the southwesterly winds that are generated in autumn favor a dry and warm climate, ideal conditions to achieve an ideal maturation , prior to the harvest.
ELABORATION
The entire production flow is designed to avoid must / wine oxidation as much as possible from its entry into the winery and therefore preserve its aromatic potential to the maximum. Thanks to the carbon recovery system (Oresteo system), we age it on its own lees for 18 months using the carbon that it has generated during the alcoholic fermentation phase. Afterwards, its second fermentation takes place in the bottle for 12 months before disgorging.
