THE APPLE BONARDA

We have an 100 years old Bonarda vineyard that is placed in Vistalba . This variety is very rare in high lands, planted on VSP on clayey soils and rocky subsoil that allows a good drainage. Having a low yield because of its age, the wine is fresh with a good concentration. We use destemmed grapes and some whole bunches. They are fermented in small concret vats with native yeast at a temperature between 26º and 28º C. during several weeks. Its aging goes on in used French oak barrels until the following vintage.
