TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Variety: 100% Verdejo.

Vineyards: Wine selected from different plots of our own vineyards, located in the town of Matapozuelos, between the rivers Adaja and Eresma, at an altitude of 730 meters. The terroir is sandy, poor in organic matter and little water resources. This makes the grapes small in size, thus concentrating their flavor, and with a perfect balance between alcohol and acidity.

Elaboration: Periodic ripening controls from the beginning of September until the optimum ripening point for harvest is reached. Night harvest, to obtain the best temperature conditions and thus avoid oxidation naturally. Our plots are very close to the winery so the grapes hardly spend time in the trailer. Cold prefermentative maceration for maximum aroma extraction. Soft pressing with pneumatic lung press to obtain the must and subsequent static cold soak at 8ºC.  Slow fermentation  at low temperatures and time on lees,  to  conserve the most intense fruit aromas. Finally, a blend of the different plots is made, clarified, and a light filtering is carried out prior to bottling.
