Winemaking Details
Viticulture:
The growing conditions for the grapes were hot and dry during the Winter, followed by an unusually dry and hot spring and summer. Rain and lower temperatures in early September helped ripeness to finish as the vine recovered from an exhausting Summer.
Fermentation:
Natural fermentation (indigenous yeast) took place in lagar, in contact with the skins for 10 days.
Aging:
Malolactic fermentation occurred in used 500-liter Hungarian oak barrels, where it remained for 18 months with regular batonnage. Finally, the wine was patiently allowed to naturally settle, and when it reached clarity, it was bottled without filtration.
Winemaker:
Mariana Rosária
FOOD PAIRING
Grilled white meat, pork, veal, veggies on BBQ
