• Exhibitor: AVELINO VEGAS

This wine is elaborated with grapes from old vines coming from 4 Segovian villages, harvested by hand at their optimum ripeness. A slight cold maceration infuses the must with all the varietal aromas. Fermented at low temperature (12 º C), the wine rests finally with its fine lees,to achieve that smoothness on the palate that makes it unique.
