This combination together with adequate acidity makes a fresh young wine with an exotic finish. ____________________________________________________ VINES & VINEYARDS We have this variety in different areas and also with different training systems. In Agrelo at 950 metres altitude with the tall overheard arbor system called “Parral tipo Cuyano”, this system keeps the clusters covered from the direct sun rays , therefore the typical aromas of the variety are preserved. In Tupungato the grapes are harvested from vineyards between 1100 and 1350 meters above sea level in the espaliering system. In this area we obtain healthy fruit and a high concentration of aromas which typify this varietal. ______________________________________________________ VINTAGE This year the spring season conditions were dry, warmer during summer, with less rainfall than usual and cool nights.
