Soft pressing in horizontal pneumatic press – 58% performance. Fermentation starts in new chestnut barrel with a capacity of 650 litres. Fermented with indigenous yeasts. Aged for 12 months in barrel with gentle battonages with its fine lees.

Wine with a high layer of straw yellow colour, clean and bright. On the nose, medium-high intensity with very well assembled aromas of ripe fruit and menthol, with notes of pastry (brioche, vanilla) gathered during the time the wine was in chestnut barrels. Enveloping and sweet on the palate, enlivened by the typical freshness of the Ondarrabi Zuri variety. The sweet touches perceived on the nose are ratified. A long passage with a balanced acidity that makes it persistent.
