Matapalos

The grapes come from the estate’s own Río Frío Alto vineyard site in the Sierra de Montilla, planted in 2007 at an altitude of 450 m and facing east. The soil is described as a mixture of Albariza and sand. Harvest takes place at the beginning of September; the wine is made by direct pressing without skin contact. The estate describes the production as involving no additions and relying exclusively on the fermentation of the must. In the glass, it is a white, rather fresh wine with around 5 g/l residual sugar; the old Pedro-Ximénez clone explains its distinctive, slightly sweet style.
