Key factors that distinguish our Sauvignon Blanc vintage
Slate soils of great influence
The slate floors that characterize our vineyard provide a distinctive seal: they favor a uniform ripening of the bunch and enhance both the concentration and aromatic complexity. This minerality translates into wines with a defined structure and a very marked varietal profile.
Precise weather conditions
The climatic regime of this campaign has been decisive in achieving a good bearing of the plants, with a perfect balance between the vegetative and reproductive parts of the vineyard. The natural distribution of the bunches has allowed for fresh and protected ripening, preserving the aromatic potential and maintaining an integrated acidity.
High-precision oenological management
Our oenology team has worked with an approach of precision viticulture, taking care of every detail: from the plant health until the productive load management, always prioritizing the quality versus production volumeThe conduction system has been optimized to ensure the best arrangement of the bunches, obtaining a fruit concentrated, balanced and exclusiveThis meticulous attention will be reflected in a single-vineyard wine of great character and uniqueness.
Organic viticulture and manual grape selection
Our philosophy of organic viticulture It's reflected in every stage of the process. We carry out a double manual selection: first in the vineyard, bunch by bunch, and then in the winery, ensuring that only the highest-quality grapes make it into our wines.
The harvest takes place during the early hours of the morning to prevent high temperatures from affecting the quality of the grapes. The boxes used for harvesting are 10kg, smaller than those used for other grape varieties to facilitate the harvest. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are manually sorted for a second time. The use of dry ice during this process helps protect the bunches and maintain them at a low temperature to enhance the primary aromas of the terroir and the fruit, thus achieving a balanced and balanced aroma. very expressive wines and easy to understand.
Sauvignon Blanc Winemaking SPEAKS
For the white wines SPEAK, we do not destem. The entire bunch is placed directly into a pneumatic press, with a very gentle pressing level so as not to squeeze the grapes too much and only squeeze the first fraction of its juice. The extracted wort is protected again with dry ice, which prevents its exposure to oxygen and keeps it at a low temperature.
Subsequently, it passes into a stainless steel tank to proceed to the desludging. This process consists of letting the must rest at a low temperature (4-6 degrees) so that all the solid elements in suspension settle (possible earthy residues, small fragments of stems and skins or other precipitated substances). This treatment ensures the quality of the must and prevents the appearance of unpleasant flavors and aromas. At the end of this phase, the musts are transferred to another stainless steel tank for the HABLA de ti wine, or to barrels in the case of HABLA Duende; to begin fermentation and subsequent aging, where upon contact with their own lees, they acquire the body and nuances typical of the white wines SPEAK.
