Rosalia's vineyards are certified organic, she uses only natural fertilisers, promoting biodiversity by welcoming chickens, sheep and pigs from local farms to roam the vineyards freely. Grapes are hand harvested and vinified as naturally as possible with native yeasts and little other intervention. The wines are then aged in clay amphora and some in French oak to give texture and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvested in January, when the grapes have frozen due to temperatures remaining below minus five degrees for at least five days but never below minus 13 degrees. These weather conditions mark the beginning of the harvest, which is why it is only produced in exceptional years. A manual harvest of frozen but healthy grapes without any trace of rotting are quickly pressed in the same vineyard as the grape, with the ice crystals still in the grape causing s a high concentration of sugars in the must and plenty of acidity. Due to the dehydration, this improves the extraction of aromatic components.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the water is first to freeze within the grape, an increased concentration of sugars are obtained from the must. The grapes must be pressed before the ice crystals break down. The yeasts for fermentation are native, providing much of the character and personality of the terroir. Fermentation is a very slow process, it can take 2 to 3 months and is carried out in small stainless steel tanks to provide a completely natural wine, with no added sulphites and the stabilisation and clarification are also a natural sedimentation process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 333.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e500ml\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eCultivar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% Petit Manseng \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eSpain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\nAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n14 % alc vol \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eUnits of Alcohol per Bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e7 units\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAwaiting info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAgeing in Barrels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eNo Oak Ageing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eSuggested Serving Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eVery Cold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 58.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 39.2805%; height: 58.8px;\"\u003eFood Matches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 60.3891%; height: 58.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eServe very cold as an aperitif, or with foie, robust and flavorful cheeses, or cream.
