Vinification
After choosing and separated into two passes per vine the most healthy and ripe grapes from our vineyards, these individually fermented in stainless steel tanks with temperature control between 23 and 27°C. Grape's own yeasts are responsible for the transformation of organic wine must. It is then decanted to get his characteristic clarity and brightness.

Vintage details
2018 Good. Abundant rains in autumn and spring were perfect for the vineyard. The maturation stands out for the qualitative parameters and the greater average weight of the berry of the bunch.
Tasting notes
Violet colour with intense aromas of red fruit (blackberry, raspberry) and fresh grapes. The taste is clean and clear, giving at the end all the fruit expression that its vinosity possesses.
