Llumí Rosat

Varieties
Grenache (100%)

Terroir
The Grenache is from 20 year old bush vines grown at 420m in the Mas de Cabrera vineyards in Gandesa. Soils at Mas de Cabrera are rich in limestone with very little organic matter. The vines are dry farmed. Despite the hot dry summer, picking was delayed until the 28th September for optimum ripeness.

Production
The grapes were hand picked before chilling to 2°C. After passing over a selection table, the grapes were destemmed and crushed, then held in the press for 4 hours to pick up colour. After a gentle pressing the resulting pink juice underwent a controlled fermenta- tion at 16°C.
