Wine made from carefully selected Verdejo grapes from old, bush vines, 40-120 years old, grown in the districts of La Seca and Segovia. 50% of the vines are already being grown according to organic methods. The high adaptability and excellent acidity of this grape allows ideal fermentation and ageing on the lees in French oak casks. Harvesting is performed manually into 15 kilo crates before pressing of the whole grape without prior crushing, after passing over a two-stage sorting table for selecting clusters and whole grape berries. In this way oxidation of the must is reduced to a minimum and the typical varietal aromas, colour and freshness are preserved. After light fining of the must, fermentation takes place in 600 litre vats made from French oak from 3 sources: Allier, Nevers and Vosges, followed by ageing on the lees which can last up to 6 months. Weekly bâtonage or stirring of the lees during the first 3 months and then depending on the evolution of the ageing process. Aged for 9 months in 600-litre, French-oak casks from 3 sources: Allier, Nevers and Vosges. 15% new and 85% casks used for 2 to 4 vintages.
