VINEYARD

-Estates: Paraje Altamira, La Consulta, San Carlos.
-Planting year: 1957.
-Height: 1,100 meters above sea level. Ungrafted grapevines. -Yield: 6,500 kilos per hectare.

HARVEST

-Harvest time: 1st week in March 2023.
-Hand-harvested, in 18-kilo crates. Bunches were selected in the vineyard. -Climatic characteristics: The late frost that occurred at the end of October and the

beginning of November had serious consequences on the production, making the 2023 harvest the lowest in over 20 years. Despite these phenomena, the nobility of the vine allowed us to produce good wines, both white, rosé, and red. The summer,
in general, was very dry with high temperatures in December and January, the months of February and March were slightly cooler, and the grapes continued, in general,

with a good balance of acidity and sugar accumulation. The wines produced in this vintage are very interesting and intensely fruity. All these characteristics ensure good ageing potential.

WINEMAKING

-On arrival at the winery, grapes are cooled down to preserve aromas and flavors. -Whole bunches are pressed very lightly in the pneumatic press.
-Fermentation: 85% of the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks and the remaining

15% is kept in new French oak barrels for 6 months. -Blending, filtering and bottling.
-Bottled in September 2023.

TASTING NOTES

-Color: Pale golden yellow, greenish at the rim.

-Nose: Fresh, elegant and medium intensity. It exhibits scents of acacia and white fruit like pear, pineapple and finally honey. The aromas contribute freshness and sweetness and make it an elegant and complex white wine.

-Palate: This wine displays a fine balance between freshness and aromatic complexity. Pleasant attack, unctuous on mid-palate. An elegant wine, with a velvety and lingering finish.
