Product notes
Spectacular alluvial soil where the Miño River has deposited layers of minerals. Deep soil with higher than normal clay levels, giving it great resilience to stressful conditions.
Production notes
Hand-harvested in 20 kg crates. Skin maceration of the grapes at 10°C for 4 hours. 10% of the wine ferments in 500-litre French barrels.
Tasting notes
Lemon yellow with greenish edges. Complex and intense nose of herbs and fruits (fennel, bay leaf, apple), fresh citrus notes, and pronounced mineral aromas (quartz, flint). Good structure marked by powerful acidity. Harmonious, retains its character. Pairs well with fish and shellfish.
