Production

The elaboration of this wine is done with a minimum intervention. The grapes are harvested by hand and are divided into 2 batches to follow two processing methods. In the first one, the traditional method of pressing and fermenting in stainless steel at a controlled temperature is followed, always with wild yeasts from the vineyard. The second method is a route where the raquis is removed and the must is fermented with its skins for 4 days at controlled temperature, also with its wild yeasts. Once the fermentation is finished the wine is left for rest and clean for 3 months before bottling it. This minimal intervention causes the wine to present natural sediments.
