"The 2022 Las Bairetas is a dry white produced with Moscatel grapes from a vineyard planted in 1994 in the village of Chiva on red clay soils at 300 meters in altitude, and one hectare is head-pruned. They went for a skin-contact white with a maceration time of 20 days, then it went through malolactic and matured in tinaja for six months. It has a bright yellow color and a nose that combines the varietal notes of orange blossom and peel with earthier hints and the yellow fruit from the skin contact. The palate is medium-bodied, with 12.6% alcohol, mellow acidity and a dry, chalky finish. 3,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023."
