The plot where this wine is born is a unique Sauvignon blanc vineyard located in a privileged enclave in the Alto Vinalopó region, near the protected natural area of El Puntal de Salinas. It has a marked limestone character, its climate is Mediterranean with a slight continental influence and receives a slight contribution of humidity from the Levante wind to help withstand the low rainfall in the area. In order to obtain grapes in excellent health and ripening conditions, traditional viticulture is carried out with low yields, where quality is rewarded over quantity.
The freshly harvested grapes are stored for 24 hours in cold storage to enhance the wine’s aromatic expression. About 10% of the wine is fermented in used French oak barrels where it remains for 6 months. The rest of the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, a part is kept in stainless steel tanks with its fine lees while another part is taken to porous concrete tanks. At the end of this process, Rafa meticulously carries out the blending, seeking the balance and expressiveness of both the variety and the area from which it comes.
This wine shows beautiful yellow tones that show freshness and brilliance. Full of expressiveness, it shows fruity nuances and aromas of Mediterranean herbs reminiscent of the variety and its environment. Ample and pleasant in the mouth makes it a wine capable of pairing with gastronomic elaborations of great personality. Its slight nuances and hints of barrel ageing complete what Rafa understands as a hedonistic wine.
