Pale in colour and boasting a fresh, floral nose with hints of red fruit, the palate is light, fresh and balanced.
Made using 100% Forcallat grape variety, the grapes are harvested by hand without crushing, and naturally cold-soaked for 24 hours. The vines are grown in 35 year-old goblet-trained vines at an altitude of 600 metres above sea level, and sandy loam soil with limestone.
Harvested by hand, whole destemmed grapes without crushing, direct and very light pressing. The grapes are naturally cold-soaked for 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with its indigenous yeast. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was refined on its own lees in stainless steel tanks for 8 months. There was no racking in between so there was no addition of sulphur dioxide until bottling.
