Old Vines Verdejo
D.O. La Mancha

Our winemaker David Tofterup visits each vineyard to select specific blocks and determines when each is at optimal ripeness. From the mid of August the grapes were harvested at night by machine. The cold temperature of night preserves the natural acidity and aromatic characters of the fruit.

The grapes were gently crushed and placed into Pneumatic presses were the must was macerated for three hours during slow pressing. The free-run juice was pumped to stainless steel tanks where it was cold settled and racked off the lies after 24 hours. Following fermentation the wine was racked off the heavy lies and aged on the fine sur lies for 3 months. During this time the sur lies was stirred periodically by the use of nitrogen gas. This refreshing white wine was bottled after gelatine and bentonite clarification and filtration in early spring.
