Hand-harvested organically farmed Jacquere and Altesse grapes from southwest-facing vineyard ‘Les Chateaux’ in Chignin. Old vines (50 years), densely planted on silty limestone soils worked with horse-plow. Carefully sorted whole clusters, delicately pressed and fermented in the tank without additions. Natural malolactic fermentation, 4 months aging in the tank.
En Rama Sherry is bottled unfiltered and has pronounced yeasty aroma from the contact with Flor. La Gitana is the standard for this style and drinks perfectly as a glass before dinner with olives.
