VARIETAL
Garnaxta Blanca

NOTES
VINEYARD: High-altitude vineyards grown on poor slate (llicorella) hillsides in the Serra de Prades, between 800 and 900 meters (2800-3000 feet) above sea level, in the small village of Vilanova de Prades.

VINIFICATION: The wines are produced in small quantities using organic and biodynamic principles. Hand-harvesting is a must on the steep hillsides, and there is no use of any chemical products, artificial fertilizers, added sulfur, nor is there any fining. Fermented for 7 days with the skins in stainless steel vats and aged briefly in amphora for 4 months.
