Sourced from White Rufete, which is a very old and native Spanish white grape varietal from the vineyards of the granitic soils of “Sierra de Francia” mountains and the slate “Sierra de Quilamas” mountains in the Sierra de Salamanca region of western Spain near Portugal.
Each grape was destemmed and selected by hand. The grapes are then foot crushed and the fermentation starts with native yeast. After fermentation the wine is pressed and moved to 500 L French oak barrels. We work with the lees for the first 6 months by rolling the barrels (battonage). The wine spends 2 years in oak prior to bottling.
