Winemaking: depending on which plots the grapes come from, we use two different approaches to winemaking, always trying to get the best possible balance:

The bunches from the higher areas macerate and ferment under a low temperature in contact with the skins, for a better complexity on the palate.

Bunches from the lower areas, at a different stage of ripeness at the moment of the harvest, are processed in a more traditional way, separating the first-run must and leaving it in contact with the fine lees, for a mouthfeel with more volume and to extract the typical Moscatel flavours.

A portion of these wines stays for a brief time in new casks of French oak, which pleasantly balances the freshness and the complexity.

Tasting notes: clean and bright lemon yellow with greenish hues.

On the nose, Typical aroma of the grape variety Moscatel, with notes of fresh flowers, jasmine, orange blossom and some citrus notes.

On the mouth, nice volume and complexity, combined with refreshing notes of fennel, grapefruit and orange zest. Persistent, with a fresh and crispy acidity.
