ORGANIC & BIODYNAMIC VITICULTURE
Based on careful observation and the management of the factors which influence our terroir and its habitat. We do not apply chemical herbicides or pesticides, but instead we use natural resources, with the primary aim of maintaining a balance in the environment, and we preserve spontaneous ground cover in order to obtain spongy soils.
Through biodynamics, which goes one step beyond organic growing, we breathe life into our vineyards and seek to raise levels of biodiversity: we preserve spontaneous ground cover in order to obtain spongy soils, we apply plant-based infusions and decoctions to avoid pest infestations, and we produce our own animal and vegetal compost from our orchard of medicinal plants and our farm of cows, sheep, chickens, and horses.
PRODUCTION
The grapes are picked by hand, go onto a sorting belt, are transferred by gravity, and pressed whole bunch. Grapes are chilled from 0ºC to 5ºC with gross lees (up to a 20%) for 2-3 weeks. These are obtained from the decantation of Macabeos used in the elaboration of our sparkling wines. The must is carefully divided. Fermentation in multi-purpose barrels – our objective is not to obtain oaky or toast flavours, but rather a light mineralization. Subsequent addition of cold-stored must give added freshness and strengthens the aromatic precursors. This wine will spend a minimum of 9 months in tanks and a minimum of a year in the bottle before release onto the market.
