Description

Soil: Llicorella (grey slate). This poor, demanding soil brings deep minerality and distinctive elegance to the wine.
Altitude: Extreme mountain viticulture, with vineyards between 800 and 900 metres in Vilanova de Prades.
Viticulture: Complete respect for natural cycles and biodiversity, without herbicides or chemical pesticides.
Harvest: By hand in 15 kg boxes. At this altitude, ripening is slow and harvesting takes place later to ensure optimal aromatic complexity.
Winemaking: Controlled fermentation in French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to balance fruit and structure.
Yeasts: Exclusively indigenous yeasts from the vineyard itself.
Ageing: Around 12 months in French oak barrels on its lees, adding volume, creaminess and considerable ageing potential.
Tasting notes: La Bauma is a complex wine with a distinctive personality. Notes of ripe white fruit, floral hints and pronounced minerality (dry stone) stand out. On the palate it is rich and structured, with vibrant, fresh acidity giving it great length.
Pairings: Ideal with baked fish, brothy rice dishes, roast poultry, mature sheep’s cheeses and Mediterranean white-meat dishes.
