2019
98% Viura and 2% other varieties, such as Malvasi?a, Garnacha Blanca and Calagran?o. Planted in 1973 after a massal selection.
The grapes were picked by hand in small boxes on September 18, 2019.
All our grapes are first refrigerated in a cooling chamber and then go onto a cluster and then berry double sorting table. Cold maceration for 8 hours and pressing. The resulting free-run must is racked into 500-litre French oak barrels where it ferments.
A good portion of the wine remains on the lees for 12 months in one- and two-year-old, 500-litre, extra-fine-grain French oak barrels. The other portion is aging on lees in small tanks during the same period. The wine was bottled in November 2020 and remained in our underground cellar at least for 24 months before being released onto the market.

After a 2018 vintage with a markedly Atlantic character and substantial rainfall, 2019 was more normal year, with fewer unforeseen events. An autumn and winter with more moderate rainfall gave way to a warmer spring that enabled an early budding of the vines. The summer was drier with a heat summation of almost one degree more than the previous year, offering a wine with more fruit energy and lush texture.
