With this wine, want to show the fresh face of the Garnacha Blanca in the Priory in conjunction with the low Chenin blanc.

We harvested the Grenache and Chenin: the Grenache is at the point of maturation that we consider it appropriate to, and the Chenin helps us to maintain the acidity. Already in the cellar, are pressed together, the two varietals, is desfanga the wort and is transferred to a concrete tank where fermentará at a controlled temperature of 16-18 ° C with indigenous yeasts. Once finished the fermentation, is transferred to remove the lees thick, and subtract just fine. During the first two months of ageing is done a battonage per week and remains in the deposit; from the two months starts static ageing with lees on the bottom of the foudre.
