Vineyard Notes

The vineyards are not certified organic, but we are farmed under organic and sustainable practices, such as use of copper and sulfur. Flowers and herbs such as chamomile act as fungus repellent. The winery is covered in photovoltaic cells; making us a net exporter of electricity and our wines carbon neutral.

Soil Type(s): Beyond the old granitic soils, this vineyard has also plots with even older origin due to marine sediments, from 500 million years ago, which originated shale clayey rocks soils.

Production Notes

Manually harvested in 15kg boxes then all three grapes are co-fermented on the same day. Wine spends 4-5 days on the skins and spontaneously ferments in open, non-temp controlled stainless steel lagar from ambient native yeasts for about 8 to 10 days, until wine is completely dry. On lees for 9 months after the spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurs. Unfiltered. Minimal sulfur addition at bottling. Not chaptalized, acidified or use of any other additives including enzymes. The wine is aged for 9 additional months in stainless steel.

Fun Facts

This project was designed to be a true field blend. All of the grapes are harvested together and co-fermented together.
