201 Orange Wine

Vintage: 2021

Production: 676 bottles

Varieties: Malvasia Manresana

Winemaking: Harvested by hand. Grape by grape selection. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks and maceration for 267 days on the skins. No pigeage, only daily pumping over until the end of fermentation. Then aged in amphorae for 30 days and bottled unfiltered. The entire process was carried out without the addition of oenological products or sulfites. Finally, we have aged the wine for 2 years in the bottle.

Bottling: 1st June of 2022 on the new moon

Winemaker’s note: What a discovery. This variety is a marvel. It has a perfect pH to be able to work without intervention and a skin thick enough to withstand all the aging we ask of it. The fermentation is incredible, the aromatic complexity it acquires. It is great to hold it for a few more years in bottle. The bottling in the moon “turning off”, so it will keep much better in the bottle. The 2021 vintage is a year of extreme acidity in order to make wines that will become very big in the bottle.
