Finca La Nevera

DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN
D.O.Ca Rioja.

VINEYARD AREA:
Single plot, Finca La Nevera 4.3 Hectares, in the upper part of the VALLE DEL IREGUA.

VINEYARD ALTITUDE:
Between 680 and 750 metres above sea level.

SOILS:
Sandy of degradative origin from colluvial rocks, which occupies the upper soil layers, then siliceous sands are mixed with silts containing calcium carbonates that have accumulated through washing, and at the bottom a light layer of clay which retains water. This mixture lends the wine freshness,  ilkiness, and longevity.

VARIETIES
100% Maturana wine, selection of old clones from the area.

VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS:
A complicated vintage, budbreak was late and the high areas were spared the generalised frost. The first part of the summer saw little rain, followed by an absence of rain in the second part, which meant the cycle was slightly earlier than usual, with great health. During ripening, the climate was  favourable with contrasting day-night temperatures, which produced optimum ripeness while production was slightly lower than average.

AGING
The wine is aged for a minimum of 36 months in stainless steel tanks where it is regularly riddled to give the wine a fuller mouthfeel, to protect it from oxidation and to keep sulphite levels low.

Finca La Nevera

"A sublime expression of Maturana Blanca, it has a chiselled acidity, a stony saline reduction, spicy citrus and citrus and hints of aniseed and white pepper."

Tim Atkin, MW - 96 points

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.
