FELIX CALLEJO

A strict sorting was done in our vineyards after analysing and tasting the berries of the different plots. The grapes from these plots had high aromatic concentration and a distinct character compared with the rest of the vineyard. The alcoholic fermentation, with native yeast, was begun at low temperatures, rising to 30°C at the end, followed by a period of two weeks of maceration on the skins. The malo-lactic fermentation was done in new French oak barrels, before an ageing of 15 months in the same barrels.
