HERÈNCIA ALTÉS BENUFET 2023 Organic

The old vineyard of white garnacha at high altitude gives us a wine of a high concentration and an exceptional finess.

The nose plays between the white fruit in bloom and the ripe white fruit, with the fair strokes of the wood, well integrated. Wide texture and enveloping, fleshy but fresh, lively acidity, long and deep. A very gastronomic target.

ELABORATION

Manual harvest in 18 Kg boxes with careful selection in the field and later also in the cellar. Cooling of the grape at 3-5ºC for about 24 hours. Direct pressing with whole bunches followed by controlled oxidation of the must to limit the extraction of polyphenols. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeast in concrete tanks. Aging with regular bâtonnages of the fine lees in the same concrete tanks for about 5 months in order to improve the sensations in the mouth. Light clarification and filtration before bottling.

At Herència Altés we are yesterday's footprint in our gaze towards tomorrow.

We are land, landscape, culture, history and innovation.

The vineyard, cultivated in an ecological way and the wine in its maximum expression, are protectors of our landscape and guardians of our biodiversity. In the winery, we have an environmental project, which protects the flora and fauna indigenous of our environment.

At home, we follow a philosophy of minimal intervention, we respect the wines to maintain the essence of the fruit and thus achieve a perfect harmony between the hand of man and what the earth gives us.

Our aging room is totally underground, to have the perfect temperature and humidity throughout the year in a sustainable way. We work with large oak foudres, of 5000 and 2500 liters, with the philosophy of making long aging, but with the minimum impact of the wood.

Fresh, serene, polished and friendly wines.
