Vintage

The 2024 vintage is the year of the return to "relative" normality after two extreme years, where we had reached record meteorological records due to high temperatures and drought.The rainfall collected during the autumn-winter and early spring has been sufficient to replenish the soil's water reserves and despite the fact that hardly any rain was collected from the beginning of April to the end of August, the vines have been able to develop their vegetative cycle in suitable conditions. The yields were above the two previous vintages, although below a normal harvest.In short, 2024 is a good vintage with fresh, aromatic wines and adequate aging potential.

Winemaking

Following harvest, the grapes are brought to the winemaking cellar where they are de-stemmed and pressed. The must obtained then undergoes a cold pre-maceration at 10ºC for five hours. 75% of the wine is then fermented, with native yeasts, for 20 days at around 15ºC in stainless steel deposits, the other 25% is fermented in American oak and aged on the lees.

Aging

25% of the wine is fermented and the aged on the lees in American oak barrels for a total of approximately 4 months. At the end of the fermentation and ageing process, the two types of wine - that fermented in stainless steel and that in oak - are blended to create the final "coupage".

Tasting notes

Colour

Clean and bright, golden colour with greenish hues.

Nose

Intense, complex aroma of tropical fruit highlighted by pineapple, mango, and banana over a base of citric fruit. A touch of pleasant, sweet smoke and cream in the background.

Mouth

On the palate it is ample and expressive with an acidity that gives it freshness with a persistent, fruity and creamy finish.

Pairing

Goes perfectly with smoked trout, clams and all types of seafood and fish - grilled, baked or in sauce - as well as with salads and pasta in sauce.
