An impressive Albarino that comes from a single vineyard and is cellared for several years prior to rerlease. It has complex, fine, attractive aromas of white flowers and candied fruits, with a smoky, earthy undertone. The palate is creamy with a rich and lively structure. Powerful and broad mid-palate, with touches of aromatic herbs and subtle saline and balsamic notes. While drinking beautifully already, its fresh acidity and intense aromatic profile mean that it will continue to develop over the next few years.

Winemaking
All the grapes are hand sorted twice for a further selection and then macerate in cold condition for about 20 hours. The wine is produced by the THE GANIMEDE METHOD - a cold maceration process which produces extremely aromatic white wines: An inverted cone is inserted in the interior of a tank which allows C02 to enter and prevents oxidation. Then, injection of small quantities of C02 to facilitate an elegant yet subtle aromas. Part of the free-run must was fermented in carefully-selected French oak casks where it spent six months over lees to acquire nuances and aromas. The rest of the wine continues sur lee in the stainless-steel vats with periodical stirring. The blending takes place after six months approximately. After bottling, the wine stayed in our cellars for a few months to ensure that all those aromas that make it unique and special would blend together.
