At the end of this process, the wort is tranferred to stainless steel tanks where it ferments, with a temperature control made with cooled water drop.

Vineyards planted exclusively with native varieties, perfectly adapted to the rustic climate caused by the altitude. Hand-picked grapes, reception without destemming and immediate crushing. Fermentation for a period of about 20 days with indigenous yeasts. Stage in stainless steel vats. The low productivity of granitic soils, especially in organic production, gave rise to this wine with an intense, fresh and very elegant aroma, with citrus notes in harmony with very discreet floral notes. In the mouth it is very fresh with volume provided by contact and lifting of the fine lees until bottling. Contains sulfites.
