Production Details The grapes were harvested by hand and subjected to a second selection on a sorting table. They entered the press by gravity; because the berries were unusually small, must extraction was limited to 52%. The blend was selected by tasting before secondary fermentation in bottle under natural cork. Riddling and disgorgement were performed manually. The producer’s current English page states 110 months of cellar ageing, while the technical sheet describes more than 100 months under natural cork. Finished-wine total acidity was 3.80 g/L expressed as H2SO4 equivalent. Relative to recent average yields, Xarel·lo finished at 80% and Macabeu near 50%; these are variety-specific relative yields, not vineyard yield in hL/ha.
