In 1996, Nicholas Hammeken, who already had experience in marketing and selling wine in various European countries, opened his own business. At first, the company was just selling and reselling wines from other wineries, but then, in 2001, they had their first own line of wines. The company follows the latest global trends in order to produce wine of very good quality and at a relatively inexpensive price from local Spanish grape varieties.
Winemaking
Atlantic climate with wet winters and sea fog. VSP trained 15-25 years old vines on granite soils in Condado de Tea at an attitute below 300 m a.s.l., yield of 50 hl/ha. Hand-picked during early morning. Fermentation for 16-2 0days at a temperature of 14-16°C. Aged for 6 months on its fine lees.
Tasting notes
Brilliant pale lemon colour. Intense aromas of peaches, white flowers, minerals and a hint of fresh sea breeze. On the palate, a well balanced prominent acidity with stone fruits and light minerality. Lingering finish, with a mouth watering acidity and long complex persistence.
