Analytical Data
Wine Production
Grapes are selected and harvested by hand in 15kg cases. Fermented in small stainless steel tanks of 11,000 L.. Aged in new French oak for 12 months plus an additional 25 days in new barrels, followed by 30 months aging in bottle.
About the Vineyard
From the Pago Carronda vineyard in la Aguilera. Vines with an age of 80 years are grown at an elevation of 900m. Sandy calcareous soil with a high pH and poor in nutrients. Maturation is slower, as this type of soil reflects sunlight and cannot retain heat. The result is an aromatic, round and elegant wine with a well balanced acidity.
