Cercial harvested in the first week of September. Pre-fermentation skin maceration for 4 hours, followed by gentle pressing. Start of fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperature. End of fermentation in used 400L French oak barrels for 10 months with batonnage.
Citrine-colored wine with greenish hues. Mineral, citrus and some vegetal notes. Very fresh wine, but with volume in the mouth and long. Very gastronomic.
Light vegetal and flint notes, bitter orange citrus, and a touch of smoke. Despite the time it has been in the bottle, it is still very young, full of balance, with high-quality fruit, a crisp, firm profile, with immense brightness and tension. An excellent white. It is a shame that there are only 700 bottles.
