$34.00

From 60 year old vines planted on 1 hectare of stony clay soils. Though this plot has been worked organically for a long time, this plot is under organic and biodynamic conversion. The grapes are hand-harvested in mid-October, intensively sorted and de-stemmed. Maceration and spontaneous fermentation lasts for eight weeks (minimum) in clay amphora, with indigenous yeasts, under temperature control. No pumping over occurs, the cap is only distrubed by hand once a day until fermentation is completed wherein the amphora is topped off, and then subject to battonage once a week with inert gas and then closed with a stainless steel top. The wine spends seven months on lees. Aging takes place in the same amphora for 9 months. Unfiltered.

Description

Costador terroirs are single-vineyards, organic wines produced from old vines in mountain vineyards with maximum highs of 864 meters. The majority of the fermentation of the Metamorphika, Sumoll Blanc is carried out in clay amphorae called Tinajas. The orange wines are fermented with whole berries with skin contact during 6 to 8 weeks. The final juice is a real & authentic wine with a natural taste. They work with autochthon Catalan varieties and another with singular terroirs. Costa D’Or (or Costador) Terroirs Mediterrani is around 15 different plots, scattered around Tarragona province, mostly centred around Conca de Barberà, with mountainous as well as Mediterranean influences. The soil around here is mostly calcareous and this limestone minerality shines through in all of these wines. Costa D’Or farm all their vines organically, the only intervention in the vineyard is the use of pheromones to repel pests, a little copper and sulphur if and when needed and sometimes the use of sodium bicarbonate to prevent powdery mildew. 100% Sumoll Blanc, from old vines in the mountains of Conca de Barberà, harvest takes place later than in most other parts of Cataluña, due to the much cooler microclimate in Conca de Barberà.
