Two timely storms at the end of July and in mid-August unloaded 40 litres which brought the vines to life. All this contributed to a very good plant and grape health without the need for any treatment.
The harvest began on 29 August.
It is a complex, somewhat tannic, well-structured wine, with aromas of ripe apples and notes of hydrocarbons on the nose and palate. The slate white Rufete has a slight hint of sweetness and is slightly more concentrated and unctuous than the granite white Cámbrico.
- Partially matured in French oak barrels.
- Unfiltered, unclarified, stabilised only with the natural cold of the cellar.
- Harvest in 15 kg crates with selection of clusters in the vineyard.
- Selection of grapes on the table.
- Fermentation in steel tanks with indigenous yeasts.
- Must and wine are always moved by gravity.
- Ageing on lees.
