Ageing: This wine was aged in the Alfaz del Pi winery with grapes selected from the vineyards of Finca El Chaconero in Villena, Alicante. It is aged for 16 months in new French Allier oak barrels. The production techniques and vineyards are environmentally sustainable.
Finca El Chaconero
The Finca El Chaconero is located in the district of Las Virtudes, next to the Virgen de las Virtudes Sanctuary, west of Villena; called by the oldest people of the place "Las Quebradas" due to its edaphology, the subsoil strata are not horizontal but oblique, so the result is a large number of small plots with totally different soils. In the same estate we can find gravel, sandy-loamy and totally sandy soils.
D.O. Alicante
D.O. Alicante. AlicanteIn the province of Alicante the influence of the Mediterranean Sea is very characteristic, whose sea breezes circulate through the mountainous corridors that have created the Carrascal de la Font Roja Natural Park and the Sierra del Maigmó Protected Landscape, which provide greater freshness to the leaf surface.
In the province there are two areas with very different climates and soils: The Mediterranean coast, whose sea breezes exert a great influence on the vineyards of coastal municipalities. And another inland area in the Alto Vinalopó region, with altitudes of more than 600 metres above sea level, where sea breezes also have a strong influence through the natural mountain corridors. In this area of Alicante pre-plateau we find adult vineyards in soils with high presence of limestone, crust, stones and sands.

Nose: Muy mineral, con recuerdos a grafito, humus, piedras negras y tierra recién labrada. Notas especiadas, balsámicos y florales como la violeta.
