VINTAGE 2010 :
The 2010 vintage is yet to be rated as we write, though for us it has been one of the best vintages to date, with a great balance among sugar concentration and phenolic ripening. A long winter and ample spring rain brought a good fertility to the vineyards. Summer temperatures were high, though the beginning of August brought them down, slowing down the ripening process. September brought good weather and cool nights, resulting in a vintage with good sugar levels and a very good phenolic ripening
VARIETIES :
Viura 100% coming from high vineyards in Rioja Alta (50%) and Alavesa (50%) with a higher acidity and healthier grapes.
AVERAGE YIELD :
60-65 Hl./Ha.
VINIFICATION :
A veil of carbonic snow prevents the grapes from oxidation right at the receiver, while is also takes the temperature down. After the pneumatic pressing the fermentation continues at low temperature (14-16ºC) in order to keep the primary aromas.
TASTING NOTES :
Generous in white fruit, peer, green apples and citrus notes. It displays freshness in both nose and mouth, with a citrus character.
TASTING SUGGESTIONS :
Pouring temperature: 7-8ºC (45-47ºF). Ideal as an aperitif, with grilled fish and definitely seafood.
