Fermentation takes place in oak barrels of 3,000 litre capacity
for 15 days on the skins. Each variety is aged separately
on its lees in 80% new French Allier oak and 20% American
oak barrels for 6 months. The coupage follows and the wine
is bottled in a Burgundy style bottle. 13.5% Vol. A splendid
and enticing complex nose of honeyed pear and apple, pineapple,
grapefruit, kiwi, cocoa, apricots, toasted minerals, very
full and buttery on the palate with great concentrated and
rich texture of fleshy pineapple, peach fruits, minerals and
toastiness, perfectly assembled with balanced acidity and
magnificent lingering finish. El País: ' the
top white in Spain'. Produced in limited quantities: 13,000
bottles
