Juan Bautista, ranging 800-900 meters. Soils are a mix of sand, gravel and slate. Prephylloxera bush-trained vines are 130-200 years old. Santiuste de San Juan Bautista is a small village located in the D.O. Rueda, in the region of Castilla y Leon, in the province of Segovia, Spain.
Grapes were hand harvested in late September, the grapes were partially
de-stemmed and lightly macerated on the skins for a few hours. Subsequently, they were
pressed in a vertical press and the must then underwent alcoholic fermentation with indigenous
yeasts, 70% in stainless steel tank and 30% in 500 liter dolia (Spanish clay amphora). After
fermentation the wine was left to rest on its fine lees for nine months (70% in stainless, 30% in
dolia), and then bottled without fining or filtration. No sulfites were added at any point. 13.5% abv
