Description
GENERAL INFORMATION
Grape: Chardonnay
Soil types: This wine comes from vines planted on the uplands of Catalonia, inland from the sea. The climate is Mediterranean: hot, dry and arid. However, the elevation creates significant diurnal temperature differences on summer nights, promoting peak ripeness.
Vineyard management: The vineyard is entirely trained using the cordon de royat system. Part of the vineyard is irrigated in response to the water stress the vines undergo. The vineyard is organically managed and certified.
Winemaking: The harvest takes place by night, to avoid temperature spikes during the day. The grapes go straight to press and the juice is cold settled (3°C). Liquid phase alcoholic fermentation occurs at 19°C for about 10 days.
