Production
Hand-harvested fruit is double-sorted and cold-macerated before fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is aged for five months in a mix of 500 L French oak and stainless steel, a gentle élevage that preserves its vibrant fruit character while adding subtle structure and polish.
Vineyard
Sourced from several parcels — including La Emilia, La Huelga and Astrales — planted on clay soils between 830 and 850 m. These lower, warmer sites give a rounder fruit profile while retaining freshness thanks to cool nights and careful canopy management. Yields are moderate (~2.5 kg per vine) for bright, concentrated fruit.
Pairing
Ideal with grilled lamb chops and rosemary, chorizo-studded bean stew, or chargrilled vegetables with romesco. Its lively fruit also pairs beautifully with paprika-spiced roast chicken or soft sheep’s cheeses.
