VINEYARD INFORMATION

Vines selected at 600 m. from the Algairen mountain range, where the ground is poor with steep slopes and it is very windy. Here the grape ripens more slowly, allowing all its potential to be fulfilled. Grapes are harvested early in the morning to arrive fresh at the winery..

WINEMAKING

During the vinification process the temperature does not exceed 14ºC. in order to maintain all the aromas of the variety. When the fermentation has finished, the wine is left for a while with the finest lees, to make it more expressive on the palate.

WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS

The combination of these two varieties of grapes means that all the freshness and acidity of the Macabeo is complemented by the intensity and more mature and tropical aromas of the Chardonnay, resulting in a wine with a bouquet with hints of lime, grapefruit, banana and pineapple with a very fruity taste but also with a pleasant and persistent acidity.
