Characteristics of the vineyard
White wine made from the Viura grape variety from our own vineyards and those of our regular suppliers located in Rioja Alta. The soils are clay loam, fresh soils, goblet-trained plantations. All the work is done by hand, including the harvest.
Winemaking characteristics
When the grapes arrive at the winery we carry out an 8-hour maceration with the skins at a temperature of 10-12ºC.
After this time, the grapes go to a small pneumatic press where we obtain the free-run juice by gravity before pressing. We do a static racking using only physical means. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with the aim of extracting and preserving the primary aromas, fruity and floral, typical of the variety.
Harvest data
The 2024 campaign was marked by a warm March that caused an early bud break of about 10 days, followed by April and May with low temperatures and rainfall. This caused a vegetative standstill and delayed veraison by 10-15 days, depending on the area.
The harvest was particularly short due to low bud fertility, combined with irregular fruit set due to cold temperatures, low sunshine and rainfall during flowering. All this has caused the 2024 to be the shortest in recent years after 2017.
Despite the weather complications, plant health has been good throughout the season. The forecast of instability caused the harvest to accelerate and the low yields finally gave us a quality grape, which began to be harvested on September 18 and was finished on October 6.
Tasting notes
Pale yellow in color, this wine displays clean and precise aromas, with notes of white flowers and fresh fruits such as pineapple, banana and apple. On the palate it is balanced and harmonious, with an agile and pleasant passage that culminates in a persistent floral and fruity aftertaste.
Serving temperature between 8ºC and 10ºC.
