An original wine made from the Malvasia de Sitges grape variety fermented with indigenous yeasts in a 175-litre barrel. Once fermented it is not decanted into any other container but is instead left to rest for a period of thirty-two months, during which it develops a thin superficial film (flor) of yeasts in an undisturbed static ageing process. It is then finished in the bottle over a period of sixty-five months.
A Mediterranean grape variety that is unlike any other, cultivated from a massal selection taken from the vineyards of the old Sitges Hospital vineyards. An exceptional variety that retains an unusually high degree of acidity while acquiring unique levels of ripeness, passerillage and botrytisation.
This tiny plot has been part of the project from the very beginning. It has been home to the 50-year-old Xarel·lo and 250 vines of Malvasia de Sitges planted in 2005 and exceptionally trained in Guyot simple. The grapes are used in the production of Malvasia Fina.
