The Garnacha Ice Wine 2016

Vineyard

Strains planted in 1906 on ferrous clay soil at an altitude of 600 metres.

Vintage

The vineyard was harvested on 31 December 2016 between 7 and 8 am, at a temperature of 5.5 degrees below zero, after temperatures of less than 7 degrees below zero had been recorded in the previous two weeks.

Elaboration

After the harvest, the grapes were quickly pressed in a small manual screw press, applying just the right amount of pressure to extract the nectar without breaking the frozen water crystals. The extracted must fermented naturally for more than two months in French oak barrels.
