Hand harvested, destemmed, natural yeast fermentation in stainless steel tanks, 4 week maceration. Aged 7 months in 700-1000L amphorae, no SO2 until bottling (30mg/L total SO2), vegan.
The northeast-facing terroir of Planetes has always favored an elegant and refreshing style of wine. After many years of aging the fruit from this site entirely in foudre, Ester Nin and Carles Ortiz began experimenting with amphorae-aging to create a more floral aspect of this terroir. These experiments were successful, and in 2013 they released an amphorae-aged Garnatxa from the Planetes vineyard in addition to their regular cuvée. The Planetes Garnatxes is Garnatxa aged in amphorae and bottled with a minimal amount of SO2.
