VITICULTURE
This wine derives from over 70 hectares of vineyard belonging to the wine cellar in Viana, and from other estates from the region that are contracted and controlled. Criteria regarding quality, moderation in terms of production and the search for the greatest number of smaller bunches of grapes have been paramount when planting our vineyards. Therefore, the plantation density in our vineyard is very high (4,000 plants per hectare according to a plantation framework of 2.5 x 1 metre), low-vigour rootstocks have been selected, piping has been laid on trellises with a high level of vegetation and a complete irrigation system using the drip method has been same time maintaining a certain level of water stress.
WINEMAKING & AGEING
A wine made using stipped grapes, with the differents varieties being separated. Alcoholic fermentation for 7 days at a maximum of 27ºC. Maceration with skins for 5 days. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Ageing in oak barrels for 4 months.
