Vintage
An unusually warm winter and fine weather brought with it one of the earliest bud breaks we can remember. Despite the fact that we had a complicated beginning of spring with a lot of rain, by the time of flowering the weather had changed, being excellent and obtaining an exceptional fruit set. We enjoyed a summer with above-normal temperatures and the lack of rainfall meant that the harvest was brought forward, with the harvest beginning on September 12. Despite a faster than expected ripening cycle, the balance between acidity and ripeness was excellent.The grapes entered the winery with perfect parameters for vinification, which was carried out without any incident.

Winemaking
De-stemmed clusters are kept in a container filled with carbon dioxide at 14ºC for the berries to macerate before fermentation. After the 12-hour maceration, the must is carefully pressed in bladder presses and then stabilised statically for 36 hours at 10ºC in an inert environment and the purest part of the must is separated to ferment at 14ºC. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine is racked and tasted.

Aging
While the fine lees are still suspended in the wine, "sur-lie" ageing begins and lasts at least 2 months. 90% of the wine ferments in stainless steel deposits and only 10% in new French oak barrels. Bâtonnage, or stirring of the lees, is done once a day during the first three weeks, and then less frequently until the ageing is over. At the end of the ageing process, the yeast cells are removed and the wine undergoes a process of clarification and cleaning that takes 3 months. Afterwards both liquids are stabilised and the resulting wine ages for 22 months between deposit and bottle.

Tasting notes
Colour
Clean, iridescent, with an extremely elegant presence. With yellow adornments and intense, bright-green hues that highlight its freshness.
Nose
First sensation is pear, ripe apple and grapefruit, leading to a secondary sensory level of complexity combining white flower essences with hints of lemon balm, lime blossom, white nettle, and fennel seeds.
Mouth
It is full, dense and complex. The deep, fruit sensation is complemented by floral and balsamic essences on the finish. Very complex and a long after taste.
Pairing
It is a perfect aperitif wine but where it truly shines is on the table, accompanying seafood, fish with powerful sauces and even meats.
