Development and Aging

The QS2 Sardonia is aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 45% new and 55% used. It is clarified with egg white and lightly filtered before bottling.

The harvest is one of the key points of the process. The same payment can be harvested up to three different times to ensure that the grapes reach the winery at their optimal point. Once the fruit has been collected in small boxes, a double selection is made, first of the clusters and then of the berries, and by means of a crane the whole grapes are introduced by gravity into the tanks, where they self-ferment with their own native yeasts, with remarkable results at the aromatic level.

The malolactic is carried out in French oak barrels, not necessarily new, and the aging is done in barrels from the same forest (they are carrying out some experience with concrete vats), both new and one year old (depends on the vintage), and towards spring the final assembly of the wine is made, without each vintage having the same proportion of each variety.<
Aging: 14 months in barrels and the rest in the bottle.

Curiosities:

In 1998, nine friends eager to have their own wine came together to fulfill a common dream, counting on the advice of peter sisseck Y Jerome Bougnaud. Always keeping in mind the French concept of 'terroir' and supported by the conception of wines made from the biodynamic philosophy of both oenologists, they decided to bet on the implementation of a new vineyard outside the denomination of origin Ribera del Duero , in the historic area of Sardon de Duero.
