Vineyard, Viticulture and harvest

The vineyard was planted in 1960. Elevation 312 m. On the northern slope (5%) of the municipality, with an area of barely 0.7 ha. Gobelet training of the old vines make the yield of the vineyard very low, giving little more than 3,000 kg / ha. The clay-calcic soils with the presence of pebbles on the surface, are well drained and have a moderate water holding. The precipitation of 2019 was 342.1 L. The annual average temperature was 16.9 ºC.

The vineyards of the family, worked through certified organic farming, respectful of the environment and with minimal intervention. Using natural resources, for the control of the vineyard.

The harvest is done manually, collecting the grapes in boxes of 15 Kg. The same night after the harvest, the grapes rest at a temperature of 5º C before entering the cellar.

Elaboration

A very accurate selection of the bunches take place on the table before destemming and crushing the grapes. Grapes will macerate and ferment for 15 days in a stainless steel tank at low temperature. Draining the maceration instead of pressing, and finish the fermentation without skins contact. The next months, the wine will rest in contact with the lees, until bottled.
