TECHNICAL NOTES
Site
This wine is made from Viura grapes partly from Rioja Alavesa and partly from the Rioja Alta district.
Vinification
The grapes, upon arrival to the winery are protected by a carbon dioxide curtain that avoids any oxidation. The same gas is used for instant cooling of grapes, just before being pressed.
The pressing, carried out in pneumatic presses, is followed by a sedimentation time in vats at low temperatures, in order to clean the must. After this process the fermentation is done using selected yeasts at very low temperatures, enhancing the extraction of white fruit aromas.
