NOTES
VINEYARD: ‘Chulato’ is a parcela (single vineyard) within a paraje (equivalent to a lieu-dit) called Chulato de Ábalos.

FARMING: Organic, sustainable
VINIFICATION: Manual harvest and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless after 3 day carbonic maceration, pressed to malo then into bottle. Unfined.
