Winemaking and aging
Wine produced exclusively with the German Riesling grape variety, in a vineyard mostly with granite soil on a gentle slope. Manual harvest with selection of the best grapes. After a slow fermentation at low temperature to maintain all the aromatic load, it is aged in stainless steel to preserve its freshness and the most delicate notes, with batonnage for 5 months. The prolonged aging in the bottle of at least 12 months enhances the complexity and elegance.
Winemaker’s notes
Riesling is one of the most original varieties in the world, and here in a special environment influenced by Serra d’Ossa, it is expressed with even more originality, with floral notes of white flowers, exotic fruit and some apricot. In the mouth it has a vibrant acidity, which gives it tension, all in harmony. Very elegant and intense finish, with a mineral note emerging.
