Terroir:
The Chardonnay grapes are cultivated in the El Montecillo plot, which spans 13.5 hectares of organic vineyards. The vineyards are situated in sandy-loamy soils, with a gravel subsoil, which contributes to the wine’s bright acidity and mineral character. The climate, influenced by the nearby Pyrenees, ensures optimal ripening conditions.

 
Winemaking:
After a brief cold maceration (2-4 hours), the juice is fermented in small stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (12-15°C) to preserve the varietal expression. The wine then remains in contact with its lees in tanks for 4 months, enhancing the wine’s body and complexity.
