This is the second vintage of Remírez de Ganuza Blanco Gran Reserva Olagar. The wine is made with grapes from a very special vineyard, Olagar. Located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, it sits a borderline harvesting area, at an altitude of 600 meters. It was planted in 1978 with local grape varieties, and it is trained in the traditional bush vine system. With an extension of 1.45 hectares, it has a perfect orientation, with a pronounced calcareous clay slope and shallow soils that help stopping the vigor of the vines. Through manual harvest, bunches are transported in 12-kg boxes to thermo regulated cooling chambers and stored for 24 hours before fermentation at 4Cº - 6Cº. Grapes are then manually selected on a sorting table. The wine is made with the flower must extracted with a rotor deposit, without crushing the grapes. The wine has fermented and aged with its lees for 10 months in new French oak barrels. Lees are stirred by manually turning the barrels, a system unique to the winery that replaces traditional bâtonnage.
