RIBAS BLANC
It is our freshest entry wine, the most frank and varietal expression of our Prensal Blanc vineyards that grow in a warm and sunny Mediterranean environment, tempered by gravelly soils and a gentle sea breeze. We accompany Prensal Blanc, the island’s main white variety, with Giró Ros, a local variety that was almost lost and only recently recovered, to add a touch of intensity.
Grape varieties : 88% Prensal Blanc, 12% Giró Ros
Alcohol strength : 12%

Elaboration
Made from a selection of Prensal Blanc vineyards, harvested by hand between the end of August and mid-September. The older, goblet-trained vines, with greater clonal diversity, are the first to ripen as they are planted on shorter soils and provide length on the palate. The younger vines, planted in deeper soils and coming from a mass selection of the old vines, are harvested from September onwards, and give the wine freshness on the nose and a more fluid passage through the mouth.
A small percentage of Giró Ros, also a local variety, contributes to the whole by accentuating the primary aromas of the grape.
Manual selection of the bunches in the winery, eliminating those that do not meet the quality criteria. Pressing at low pressures -maximum yield 67%- with Inertys closed press, which enhances the fruity aromas thanks to the protection against oxidation during pressing. We are currently in trials with our own yeast and ferment in stainless steel tanks at 13-15ºC for 40-45 days. Very gentle fining to eliminate possible bitter notes and low sulphur content.
