Description
Concept
Mencía in Baldovar at 980 meters. A frank and sincere wine, where the characteristics of the Mencía variety coexist perfectly with the minerality and freshness of the Cerro Negro's terroir.
Viticulture
Ecological viticulture in conversion, currently a combination between biodynamic and ecological. No pesticides or fertilizers of chemical synthesis are used: we only treat vines with powder sulfur and a horse-drawn ecological preparation that we apply by hand. We do not use tractors in treatments to minimize the compaction of the soil.
Oenology
Minimum intervention in the cellar. No additives are added to the wine: we do not use clarifiers, enzymes, yeasts, or nutrients. We only use a minimal dose of sulfur to prevent oxidation and contamination. In the cellar we also follow the lunar calendar.
Aging
Aged for 9 months in different materials: 33% in French oak barrels of 500 liters for 4 months and the rest in full stainless steel tanks.
