HARVEST

Manual. The grapes come from three estate vineyards located

in Montblanc.

VINIFICATION The three varieties are processed separately from the beginning (therefore this is not a field blend). Hand-harvested grapes, cold pre-fermentation and softly pressed. The must spontaneously ferments

(indigenous yeast only) with the skins in stainless steel vats. No external yeast.

The malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. The wine ages in used French oak barrels (225 and 300 liters)

for roughly 3 months and then is bottled. Unfined and unfiltered. No cellar’s manipulation. Min. added sulfites

added at the racking and before the bottling.

WINE DESCRIPTION Translucent cherry at sight. Elegant aroma of wild red fruit and spices. Delicate

mouthfeel, displaying a round yet fresh fruit. Lingering finish with a nice kick of acidity. 12,5% AbV

FOOD PAIRING Great with rice, pasta, vegetables, cheeses and white and red meats.
