Nose

Very old vines provide the fruit for this wine. The vines are grown at 2700 ft above sea level from a single vineyard called El Palomar. The juice is fermented at low temperatures with skin contact to preserve fruit purity and floral aromas. The wine is then aged on lees for 5 months; this process is known in France and sur-lie of in Spain as Sobre Lias.

Finca Antigua
