Arenisca

The grapes come from Paraje Los Pilones near Villabuena del Puente, at an altitude of around 780 metres. The bush-trained vines grow on sandy soil with a calcareous subsoil and are 20 to 50 years old. After hand-harvesting, 80 to 90 per cent of the grapes are destemmed; alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and open vessels, partly with whole bunches. The wine is matured for eleven months in used French barriques of 225, 300 and 500 litres. It displays red fruit, spice, mineral and vegetal notes, fresh acidity, structure and a rather flowing body. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined.
