VINIFICATION
After 4-5 hours of maceration in the press, the must is fermented for 15-20 days in small wooden vats at a controlled temperature of about 16-18ºC. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, it remains with its fine lees in suspension for a further 12 weeks, in order to heighten its organoleptic qualities, especially its smooth mouth feel. Before bottling it is stabilised by cooling.
TASTING
Pale pink wine, with a bright, elegant sheen.
Very complex and intense nose with aromas of stone fruit (peaches, apricots), citrus (mandarin peel), strawberries and notes of dried hazelnuts.
Silky-smooth mouth-feel with good acidity. Balanced and very long on the palate.
