Hand harvesting in small crates after an accurate selection in the vineyard. The temperature of the grapes is dropped to 8-10ºC, a light pressing follows, after which the free-run wine is separated and decanted through the process of natural sedimentation at low temperature. An aging period on the fine lees follows during months at temperature controlled in stainless steel tanks. Later a second fermentation takes place inside the bottle with the aging on the yeasts for 50 months. The hand riddling process follows. At least three months in the bottle after the disgorgement, before the releasing on the market.
“Delicate straw yellow colour. Fine and elegantly persistent perlage. Fragrant aromas of bread crust, citrus and floral scents accompanied by tertiary notes. Pleasantly creamy in the mouth, with fruity returns and almond sensations. The well-balanced acidity fills the palate with freshness, the long aging gives it a finish of great complexity that impresses with its elegance, ensuring taste intensity and long persistence.”
