A wine score is the quickest, simplest way for a wine critic to communicate their opinion about the quality of a wine.

  • Tasting Notes

    2015 is the best vintage yet released from this exceptional site, offering crystalline purity with lush dark cherry and raspberry compote, roses, violets and wild thyme. Always with lively freshness and firm structure, all wrapped up in a silky and glossy, chalk-powdery, textural coating. A real class act from this cool climate, high-altitude Gualtallary vineyard. The sky is the limit.

  • Vinification and Aging

    - Destemming

    -Fermentation with native yeasts in 100 hl concrete vat.

    - Punching-down 3 times a day during fermentation for 4 weeks.

    - Pneumatic pressing.

    - Racking into 300L new French oak barrels, natural malolactic fermentation and ageing for 18 months.

    -Bottled unfiltered.

  • Terroir

    The soils of this amazing micro-terroir present a first sandy layer reaching to a depth of 120 cm (4’) below the surface, which lies on a second layer of rounded stones with significant contents of calcium carbonate. The soils have very little water retention capacity.
