Terroir:
The vineyards are located in the Rueda region of Castilla y León, specifically in the villages of La Seca, Serrada, Pozaldez, and Foncastín. The soils are a mix of fluvial terraces, erosion slopes, and glacis, which contribute to the wine’s mineral and fresh profile. The continental climate with significant temperature variations between day and night is ideal for producing high-quality white wines.
Viticulture:
The estate practices traditional agriculture with both manual and mechanical harvesting methods. The vineyard management includes the Royat cordon training system, which helps in maintaining vine health and optimizing grape quality.
Winemaking:
The wine is a blend of 90% Verdejo and 10% Viura. Fermentation and maturation occur in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh and fruity character of the grapes. The wine undergoes several months of aging in these tanks, which enhances its aromatic intensity and crispness.
Tasting Notes:
"Basa" is characterized by its pale lemon color with bright highlights. The nose offers aromas of mandarin, peach, melon, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with flavors of lemon peel and green peach, showing a distinct earthy and herbal complexity. The wine finishes with a dry, zesty, and slightly chalky texture, making it refreshing and enjoyable.
