Greenish yellow color with steely rim. Dense tear that denotes a structured wine.
Wine of great intensity. Ripe fruit aromas (grapefruit and melon), intermingled with stone fruit, highlighting the apple and pear. With marked vegetal notes and floral and citrus background that give it great freshness.
Powerful and fresh, it highlights the structure of the wine. Very good balance between volume, acidity and length, the latter contributed by the lees and barrel aging.
The history of Raimat goes back to 1914, when Manuel Raventós i Domènech acquired a plot of arid and unfertile land in a unique setting, converting it into what it is today: 2,245 hectares of 100% certified organic vineyards. Raimat is the expression of wines from Lleida, a land renowned for the quality of its fruit, where the continental climate means that the grapes from this estate give intense and flavourful wines. The winery is a pioneer in the use of the latest growing and winemaking technology, making a clear commitment to sustainable viticulture and to respecting the land and the environment.
The Godello grapes were harvested at 2 different times: the first parcel was harvested at a potential alcohol of 12.5% (to achieve citrus flavors and higher acidity), the second parcel was harvested at a slightly more mature 13.5% (riper and more tropical flavors) and was harvested during the night, which allowed it to arrive at the winery at 12.5% alcohol (to achieve citrus flavors and higher acidity).
The second parcel with slightly more ripeness at 13.5% (riper and more tropical flavors) was harvested overnight, allowing it to arrive at the winery at low temperatures to preserve the varietal aromas and avoid undesired oxidation. The must was immediately pressed and then naturally clarified at low temperatures for 24-48 hours. Once the must was clean, it was racked into a stainless steel tank with a cooling system for controlled fermentation at 16 - 18ºC. Once alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wines were kept in tanks to prevent oxidation until bottling. Approximately 15% of the wine was aged on the lees in new 500L French oak barrels and lightly toasted to give volume and complexity to the final wine.
Grapes selected exclusively from Raimat's organic vineyards.
The grapes come from our own organic vineyards where we do not use herbicides on the canopy or apply mechanical actions that remove the soil. Yields are lower and plant treatments are less aggressive, although they require monitoring. Plant cover with native species that favor biological richness, the application of controlled deficit irrigation techniques, control of the moth by sexual confusion, GPS maturity control techniques, and the preparation of maturity maps are examples of organic treatment in vineyards.
