Our winery is supported by a pioneering underwater maturation winemaking project, endorsed by the University of Alicante, which guarantees, through a standardized process, the evolution of wines.
To achieve these results, our wines have been individually selected from within the main Designations of Origin in Spain, based on their characteristics and potential for evolution.»

Rias Baixas
Elaboration
This is a 100% Albariño varietal wine made with hand-selected grapes grown on the Condado do Tea estate. Before vinification, a portion of the «flower must» is separated from another portion of the must that has been cold macerated with the skins for 24 hours. This process allows for a greater aromatic expression of the skins, without losing the fruity aromas of the must. Once this process is complete, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by 3 months of aging on the lees.
The wine is then subjected to underwater aging for 7 months at a depth of 24 meters in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Ibiza.
