VINEYARD CHARACTERISTICS:

Vineyards grown in dry land, in very poor calcareous and stony soil, under the continental climate of the altiplano of the region of Murcia, in the southeast of Spain, at an altitude between 600 and 900 meters above sea level.

ELABORATION:

The harvesting of the grapes is done by hand. The grapes are destemmed, passed through the rubber roller squeezer and stored in cement tanks to carry out the cryomaceration process at 15º increasing the temperature to 20º and ending the process at 27º, lasting 15 days.

To make this wine, we only use the free-run wine, discarding press wine. We carry out micro-oxygenation before malolactic fermentation and when it is finished, the wine is racked, stabilized, and bottled.
