Nivarius Vendimia Tardía

DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN
D.O.Ca Rioja.

VINEYARD AREA
La Granja vineyard is located in Nalda, in the MONCALVILLO area, on the right bank of the Iregua river.

ALTITUDE OF THE VINEYARDS:
From 570 metres above sea level.

SOILS
Mainly ferrous clay, with a sandy component of degradation on the surface. The blend gives us agility, depth and great volume on the palate.

VARIETIES
100% white Tempranillo.

ELABORATION
Harvest with a high percentage of grapes with noble rot and overripe grapes that go through a selection table where we separate the grapes with noble botrytis from the rest of the grapes. They are pressed without destemming and once we have the must, the grapes with botrytis are added to ferment in contact with the rest of the wine. When we have reached approximately 12 degrees of alcohol we cool the wine must and then rack it to eliminate the lees and the botrytised grapes. Finally, the wine is left to decant naturally.

AGING
12 months in 500-litre used French oak barrels, followed by one year in stainless steel.

ANALYTICS:
ALCOHOL: 12,5% VOL. RESIDUAL SUGAR: 188 g/l TOTAL ACIDITY: 7.05 g/l

“Grapes with noble botrytis”

By and for the white wine The obsession of the winery is the search for the freshness and longevity of white wines and for this we have the best technology in the production. We vinify each small plot separately, from the entrance of the grapes, either by selection table in boxes of 18 kg or by reception hopper. The way in which the grapes enter the winery depends on their state of health and the destination of the grapes. One of the most important elements of the winery are the pneumatic inert dams, made with a membrane that injects nitrogen to prevent the must from oxidising. In this way we respect the character of the variety and the peculiarities of the estate. Production and ageing In a normal year we can have up to 20 different vinifications depending on the variety, estate or area where our grapes come from. In this way we get exactly what we want from our wines, which is the maximum expression of their terroir. We make almost all of our wines in 3,500 litre oak casks from Normandy with a very light toasting so that the varietal and mineral character of our native varieties produces unique and respectful, complex and expressive wines, which have a great longevity thanks to the extraordinary acidity levels with which we work.

Por y para el blanco La obsesión de la bodega es la búsqueda de la frescura y la longevidad de los vinos blancos y para ello contamos con la mejor tecnología en la elaboración. Vinificamos cada pequeña parcela por separado, desde la entrada de la uva, ya sea por mesa de selección en cajas de 18 kg o por tolva de recepción. La forma de entrada es decidida en función del estado sanitario de la uva, del destino que esa uva vaya a tener. Uno de los elementos más importantes de la bodega son las presas inertes neumáticas, realizadas con membrana que realiza una inyección de nitrógeno para evitar la oxidación del mosto. De este modo respetamos el carácter de la variedad y las singularidades de la finca. Elaboración y crianza En un año normal podemos tener hasta 20 vinificaciones diferentes en función de la variedad, finca o zona de la que provienen nuestras uvas. Conseguimos así exactamente lo que deseamos de nuestros vinos, que es la máxima expresión del terroir de los mismos. Elaboramos casi todos nuestros vinos en fudres de roble de Normandía de 3.500 litros con muy ligero tostado para que el carácter varietal y mineral de nuestras variedades autóctonas produzca vinos singulares y respetuosos, complejos y expresivos, y dotados de una gran longevidad gracias a los extraordinarios índices de acidez con que trabajamos.
