HARVESTING

VINIFICATION

Skin-contact maceration for 12 hours at low temperatures (10ºC) in stainless steel tanks. Slow alcoholic fermentation during 10 days at controlled temperatures of 14-16ºC. The alcoholic fermentation is interrupted using cold treatment (0-2ºC during one week) so as to eliminate the yeast before the process of alcoholic fermentation has finalised. This enables us to obtain in the most natural way a medium-sweet wine with residual sugar of 32 gr/l. At the same time, the cold treatment stabilises the wine and prevents malolactic fermentation from taking place. The results in greater vivacity that helps to balance the sensation of sweetness in this unique wine.

TASTING NOTES

Straw colour with pale golden highlights. Unctuous in the mouth with exotic fruit, a depth of pears and pleasant vivacity.

Serve at 6-8ºC.
