"The dry white 2022 Malvasía de Sitges was produced with the grapes from a vineyard Raventós planted in 2018 on sandy limestone soils. 2022 was super dry, and the grapes were very healthy; the bunches were pressed to avoid oxidation, and the juice fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete, where the wine matured with lees for nine months. It has a golden color and an expressive and different nose, with notes of white and yellow fruit and a touch of hydrogen peroxide and fennel. It's ripe and round, spherical, with 13.54% alcohol while keeping very good freshness and acidity with a pH of 3.13 and 6.3 grams of acidity. 3,333 bottles were filled in May 2023."
