Principal

Depth, delicacy, and balance combine with apple, cream, brioche, and excellent minerality.

Specifications

ABV	11.0%
Vinification	Whole-bunch pressing with low yields and slow fermentations at very low temperatures.
Élevage	Fine lees were carefully worked for 8 months in small tanks and barrels, until two weeks before bottling. In Principal, the proportion of base wines vinified in 500 L Allier oak barrels reaches 40%, adding greater depth and complexity.
Vineyard Soil	Limestone and clay, covered by vegetation. Vineyard Plots: Oliverà, Parxet, Central sector of the Macabeos
Harvest	Hand-harvested in 18 kg boxes, with overnight refrigeration to 6 °C before pressing.
Tasting Notes	The depth, delicacy, and balance combine with apple, cream, brioche, and excellent minerality. A dry sparkling, with less than 1.5 g/L of sugar in the dosage, would be classified as Brut Nature, though the winemakers choose not to use this terminology.
Cellaring	A wine with outstanding aging potential thanks to the uniqueness of its plots and meticulous winemaking. It can be enjoyed from disgorgement or stored for years, gaining in complexity and subtlety.
Additional Notes	The label and name refer to its central role within the project: the purest, most precise expression of the estate, crafted with the commitment and attention a unique vineyard deserves.
