Maceration is carried out at 12ºC for approximately 8 hours; this is to achieve high extraction of the aromas that are to be found in the skins of the grapes. The grapes then undergo pneumatic, oxygen-free pressing (preventing oxidation of the juice) a yield of free-run juice“mosto flor” of approximately 60% is obtained. it is subjected to fermentation at 16ºC.

MacabeoMacabeo (Viura) was introduced in Rioja, Spain after the phylloxera epidemic, now is widely grown in the Rioja of Spain and less than one tenth of Spanish total plantations in France. Responded well to hot and dry regions. It also buds late, which makes it less likely to be harmed by frost. This grape usually contributes to young white wines suitable for early consumption. It has good ability of its wines to better withstand oxidation. Macabeo is traditionally one of a key blended element to make a sparkling Cava, the best-known sparkling wine of Spain. This Cava is dry, medium in acidity, and have notes of delicate wildflowers and bitter almonds.

Clay & ChalkyClay is a sedimentary rock (rich of mineral and organic particles) based soil that has good water retention ability but poor drainage. The soil is often very cool and high in acidity Chalky soil is soft limestone soil that allows vine roots can easily penetrate. It provides good drainage and works best for grapes with high acidity levels. Clay& Chalky is a good mixed soil for vine.
