The expression of specific terroirs within our estates. Small productions of highquality wines with their own personality.

We only carry out minimal pruning and shoot thinning, giving rise to small, very intense grapes, which then leads to wines that are as distinctive
PRODUCENT: Coniusa
DRUIF: 🍇Chardonnay
WIJNTYPE: Wit Droog
HERKOMST: Costers del Segre (Cataluña)
VITICULTUUR:
🌿 The vine, which is 21 years old, is short-pruned and a light shoot thinning is carried out to obtain the maximum balance. The grapes express their full potential in a natural way. This all contributes to obtaining very intense Chardonnay grapes.
✋🚜Selective hand harvesting is carried out of the best parcel on this turó, which is an elevated area of land, and only the optimal part of the parcel for this product. The grapes are harvested at night, taking advantage of the lowest temperatures to retain all their aromas, in 10kg crates to avoid oxidation of the grapes, which are then ransported quickly to the winery for processing.
VINIFICATIE:
🍷 We carry out cold skin maceration prior to pressing, natural clarification at low temperatures over 24-48h and controlled ferrmentation. Fermentation is completed in French oak foudres. Once finished, racking is carried out to remove the gross lees, leaving the fine lees to add texture and complexity to the wine through weekly bâtonnage over the first months.
⌛Subsequent ageing then takes place over 12 months in French oak foudres, without any influence from toasted oak, seeking to retain the fruit in a longaged wine.
DEGUSTATIE:
👁 Bright yellow colour with green highlights.
👃 Elegant and fresh. An intense nose with predominant aromas of stone fruit, such as peach, and white fruit, particularlyripe apple.
👅 Attractive from the outset, the wine is fresh and balanced, with noticeable volume and texture due to its ageing in oak foudres. A very expressive wine that retains its fruit expression with subtle and respectful oak integration.
