La Santa

Negramoll, Listán Negro and a bit of Listán Blanco from three north-facing parcels of centenarian piè franco vines in the La Corujera area, ranging from 350-650m above sea level. The vines are planted on sand and clay soils over red basalt bedrock. The three parcels were harvested and fermented separately; a small portion were carbonically macerated and about 1/2 were fermented whole cluster, all in concrete. The wines were blended and rested for 8 months on their lees in 228L neutral French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation completed naturally. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with a small addition of sulfur.
