This wine is made from a special clone of Cartoixà (the local Tarragonese name for the typical Catalonian white grape Xarel.lo), the Cartoixà Vermell (or Xarel-lo Rosado) whose berries have a reddish skin color. The perfect material for a skin contact wine!

Grape: Cartoixà Vermell

Vineyards: certified organic. Sandy loam soils

Making of: the grapes are destemmed and macerated for 32 days at low temperature (between 15-18ºC). Once the maceration is finished, the berries are gently pressed, and the wine ages on the lees for about 9 months in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled with a small percentage of its lees to improve the evolution of the wine over time. No fining or filtration, no sulfur added.

Personality: the image of spending a childhood in a Mediterranean village! Peaches, apricots, hazelnuts, quince, honey, dried fruit; the palate is generous, well-structured, and offers crunchy tannins and refreshing citrus hints. Best served well-chilled, with the lees decanted if you prefer.
