This is a wine of great aromatic complexity. On the nose there is an abundance of ripe fruit such as pineapple and pears as well as delicate floral aromas sof orange blossom, dried flower petals, nutmeg, and brioche. Very complex. The ageing on its fine lees and “bâtonnage” ensures a rich and full flavour, dense full bodied and long.
Manual harvest in baskets and a grape by grape selection at the winery. Fermentation in a concrete 1.700 litre “egg”. Ageing on its own fine lees in the same “egg” for 14 months with weekly Crianza “bâtonnage”. No barrel ageing. Aged for 2 years in bottle in the Amaren cellar before release.
