WINE MAKING PROCESS
This wine is produced from 100% Xarel·lo grapes harvested by hand in late September from the Can Almirall estate, situated at 280 meters altitude on limestone soils. The winemaking process involves spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts from the Castell d'Age vineyards at controlled temperatures. A key aspect of its production is the complete absence of added sulfites, filtration, or clarification, adhering to a natural winemaking approach. The grapes are farmed using organic and biodynamic practices, following EU organic regulations.
