Wine Details
- Type: Organic Sparkling Wine (Pétillant Naturel)
- Grape Varieties: Garnacha Blanca
- Vineyard: Low-yield, organically farmed vines in the Yerri Valley, sheltered by the Urbasa and Andía mountain ranges. Fresh calcareous clay soils, free of synthetic chemicals.
- Harvest: Manual, early September.
- Winemaking: Fermentation begins spontaneously in a steel tank at low temperatures (16ºC) to preserve aromas. Bottled during fermentation to capture natural bubbles using the ancestral method. No sulfites added; unfiltered and undisgorged.
- Alcohol Content: 12% Vol.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Intense straw yellow with greenish reflections and light golden hues. Fine, light bubbles. Slightly cloudy due to the natural production process.
- Nose: High intensity with fresh notes of pome fruits like pear and apple, combined with aromas of stone fruits. Creamy touches from the lees (brioche) and a honeyed finish add complexity.
- Palate: Fine, well-integrated bubbles. Full-bodied with good acidity and depth, making it easy to drink.
2022 Vintage
A very hot and dry year brought the harvest forward by two weeks, resulting in grapes harvested in exceptional health and quality.
