View: Lemony golden yellow.

Nose: The nose is fine, complex and expressive. First, it shows features of bottle aging and a background of seawater, eucalyptus and white fruits with a deep reminiscence of Albariño. Background of toasted bread and almond shell.

Mouth: The palate is broad, tasty, creamy and fresh. Again the notes of the variety appear with a pleasant and fresh finish in the mouth.

Climate: The autumn months were presented with high temperatures and very little rain, unusual conditions on the Atlantic coast. The cold ones arrived in January and with a single night of frost. Spring began with days and days of rain: strong and weak, constant or at times, which marked an atypical fruit set. Summer surprised us with continuous sunny days and a lot of heat. After the water stress suffered by the vines, the good weather led to the maturation of their clusters so that the harvest could begin.

Harvest: Approximately 10 days before the general harvest, the clusters are cut from those plots that show the best indexes for the production of a sparkling wine. The grapes were harvested by hand and transported to the winery in small boxes where the clusters are selected by hand.

Vinification: Very intense work at the selection tables and transfer of the grapes to the press, where a bleeding of 40% of the must is obtained. This is followed by controlled fermentation at 15ºC. The utmost care is taken in the rest of the process: racking, bottling, etc., maintaining its aromatic richness and the intensity of its nuances to the maximum.

Ageing: This wine is not aged in barrels.
