About
The Yerri Valley benefits from a continental climate, which is significantly influenced by the Atlantic due to its proximity to the Bay of Biscay; the winters are cold and the summers are hot.
The vineyard is located at an altitude of 600 metres and is influenced by strong winds, which help to keep the canopies ventilated and the vines healthy. Unlike other areas of the D.O., the Tandem vineyards experience cool summer nights allowing the grapes to ripen very gradually and impart natural, refreshing acidity to the fruit which results in elegant and fresh wines. This gradual ripening also means that the harvest takes place some three or four weeks later than the Navarra D.O.’s southern region.
The soils are made up of clay-loam which offer a good water retention properties. The average rainfall is 600 mm per year which is sufficient to naturally nourish the vines; the vines are dry farmed, as it ensures the best expression of terroir. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably; only natural products are used.
The wine was made using the ‘sangrado’ method of rosé winemaking, which involves ‘bleeding’ off a portion of red wine juice after it has been in contact with the skins and seeds. This style of rosé winemaking often produces rosé which are bolder and darker in colour than any other rosé winemaking methods.
The must was racked by gravity after a three hour pre-fermentation maceration which took place at 8°C. Wild fermentation took place in underground concrete vats at 16°C followed by brief ageing in concrete vats, where it gained texture from time on the fine lees.
