Limestone or gypse, in catalan. Which looks more like the soils of Jerez than any other part of the Priorat denomination.
This top cuvée of estate is a blend of Macabeu, PX (back to Jerez!) and grenache blanc.
Vinification
The grapes are pressed in an old vertical press. The bunches are first foot trodden for one hour, then the press delicately finishes the job.
During the process, there is interaction between extraction, oxidization and maceration, hence the particular expression of this wine.
The it is aged for 2 years in big vats, of which 1 year on its lees.
