Winemaking notes
Primary fermentation with native and selected yeasts; spontaneous malolactic fermentation in barrel; 12 months sur-lie aging, 50% new French oak. Bottled unfined.
Viticultural notes
Los Arbolitos Vineyard. Located at an altitude of 3,600 feet (1,100 meters), the vines are trained to vertical shoot positioning with drip irrigation. Vine age less than 15 years. Coarse sandy loam with sharp stones eroded in the upper layers.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with green and gold tones. On the nose, fresh and delicate aromas unfold: green apple, pear, and a slight hint of native herbs like thyme. The flavors linger on the palate, characterized by minerality and seamlessly integrated acidity.
