| History |
Aurea’s secret lies in the combination of territorial characteristics, the management of the vineyard itself and, of course, human input. The proximity to the sea, the typical white variety vineyard cultivation, as well as the processing of Syrah grapes as if they were white, all came together to create Aurea. Its unmistakable elegance and full-bodied structure are the result of great care and vital attention to detail from the vineyard to the cellar. |
| Harvest |
By hand, with selection and sorting of bunches. The harvest is carried out in the coolest hours of the day. |
| Vinification |
Once harvested, the grapes are quickly brought to the wine factory. The whole grapes are loaded into the press and deprived of oxygen, and the bunches are carefully rechecked. Pressure is applied very gently and delicately at this stage to avoid putting the fruit under too much stress. This process, together with carefully selecting the must and its subsequent decanting for no less than 12 hours, removes any coarse earthy components. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of 16°C in 20% new, medium-toasted 600-litre French oak barrels. |
| Ageing |
Once the process is completed, the two varieties are blended followed by a period of ageing on fine lees for 8 months. Later, a small amount of Reserve Wine, made from Syrah grapes from the previous harvest vinified in whit aged in barriques for 20 months, is added. |
