Wine made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides in the vineyard.


Tasting Notes

Perdigon comes from a parcel of young Pinot Noir at 300 m on limestone in Castellon, close to the Mediterranean 100 km north of Valencía, along with a small amount of old bush vine Garnacha Tintorera which Alfredo uses for his Amanda rosado. Grapes are hand-harvested and direct pressed into steel vat for primary fermentation and bottled before fermentation goes completely dry in the método ancestral style (a Pét-Nat), without any fining, filtering or SO2, finishing secondary fermentation on fine lees for 9 months. This comes from grapes from the greater Castilla y Léon region in northwestern Spain.

Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer. Terroir,...
