We want that our work in the winery be the
minimum and always oriented to extract the maximum potential that is
brought in the grapes to the cellar.
Based on the characteristics of each vineyard grapes, we make different
elaboration processes in order to bring out the best from each bunch.
Grapes testing in vineyards show us which development could be the most
appropriate. Hence, those that present more matured skins with fruity
and delicate flavors, are macerated with carbonic snow for 12 hours
after a gentle de-stemming. The rest is pressed without de-stemmed
within three hours after being cut. The most powerful grapes, with a
high proof and a balanced acidity will ferment in French oak’s
barrels of 2.000 litres at a controlled temperature and it will be kept
for a few months with its lees making a weekly stir as well. The rest
will ferment in stainless steel storage at a controlled temperature
The tasting of each elaboration will show us the right blend to make
each joint bouquet, tastes, body and so on. Bottling is carried out
belatedly, usually in March, without clarifying or filtering.
Our concern for the environment has not only
led us to integrated production. In 2007 we installed thermal solar
panels for hot water and as a support for the heating, allowing a 30%
emission reduction.
In 2009 we launched a pioneering system in Spain for biological purification of the phytosanitary applicator residues.
