Description
Varieties
White Grenache (100%)
Terroir
The grapes come from 25-45 year old vines in our Mas de Cabrera vineyards in Gandesa. Oneplot is on a sunny banal, the other in the valley bottom. They were both picked on the 24th of August, resulting in a nice range of freshness and ripeness between the two sites.
Production
The grapes were hand-picked before sorting and were pressed whole with their stems. After racking, the must was fermented initially in a concrete tank. Then transferred to an oak foudre for maturation on its fine lees. During maturation the wine was stirred regularly to encourage yeast autolysis. The resulting wines were lightly filtered before bottling.
