A blend of chardoonay and pinot noir.
Tasting note
Colour: Intense golden yellow.
Aroma: Very high intensity, aromas of white fruit recalling ripe, with nuances of pastries and dried fruit with a light background of vanilla.
Taste: Powerful, creamy, with much breadth and complexity in the mouth that gives a balanced acidity and a long finish.
We pick the best grapes from low yielding vines from our own vineyards of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which have just 3.500 plants per hectare.
The grapes are collected in special boxes, each one weighing 15kg. We only harvest in the morning in order to keep the grapes at an optimum temperature until they reach the winery. Once at the winery, the full boxes are placed in cold storage rooms for 3 days at a temperature of -10°C.
The varieties are vinified separately and at the end of the fermentation is done the coupage. The Chardonnay is stemmed and crushed, we position all the pasta of grapes resulting in stainless steel with refrigerant system to submit to the grape a peculiar maceration at cold (8°C) for 24 hours.
Pinot Noir colouring very cold directly on the pneumatic press, making a light pressing of no more than 0.5 bars for the white grape must. We opted the grape juice that is extracted from the press 36 hours statically and then only have to ferment clean of must part. The fermentation takes place in new American oak casks of 400 litres unit capacity at a temperature of 16°C.
Once fermentation is finished, it is kept on lees until his final filtration. The second fermentation is done in bottle at a temperature of 16°C constant to get a very slow fermentation which will give us the perfect integration of the endogenous Carbonic reflected in a very fine bubble in the glass.
