Three brothers, two vineyards, one vision. Francisco, Javier and Luis Parra work two sites outside of the town of Las Mesas that possess a rocky topsoil that collects heat of the sun during the day to keep the vines warm in the cold nights of this desert-like region. They entrust winemaker Antonio Ponce to usher their
organic
and
biodynamically
grown grapes through fermentation and into the bottle. For this playful liter, the grapes macerate for
5-7 days on the skins
, giving it that hazy
orange
hue, and aged in old large foudre to help the mellow,
white floral
,
melon
, and
citrus peel
aromas and flavors truly come together. Bright and refreshing, this meets their namesake gluggable style.
