GRAPE VARIETY
85% Viura
15% Tempranillo Blanco
ON THE LAND
The grapes come from vineyards planted between 490-550m a.s.l. Their clay and limestone soils provide just the right acidity to obtain very fresh, highly expressive and medium-bodied wines.
VINTAGE
The 2017 vintage was marked by sparse winter rainfall and early shoots. The region was hard hit by frost by late April, thus rendering lower yields. Timely rainfall during the summer months, and ideal conditions in August, helped fight back the level of hydric stress of the vines and led to an early September harvest, rendering small berries and optimum balance of berry compounds –a very good 2017 vintage.
IN THE WINERY
Both varieties are vinified separately. Ensuing destemming, the grapes were cold macerated for several hours. The free-run must was clarified by static débourbage (racking of the must) and then fermented in stainless steel tanks for 7 days. In order to enhance the fruit aromas, the temperature was kept below 15°C. Subsequent sitting on the fine lees added structure and elegance.
IN THE GLASS
Appearance: a clear and bright yellow-green hue.
Nose: aromas of white flowers and fruit compote with pineapple.
Taste: sweetish and fresh, with notes of pear and citrus fruits. Good acidity combined with expressive flavours.
