Tulonio is the Celtiberian god who later became Tolo\u00f1o, believed to protect the district from the misfortunes that came from the north; hence what is known today as the Sierra de Tolo\u00f1o or Sierra de Cantabria. This is one of Carlos Fern\u00e1ndez's most singular wines, as much for its variety as for the way it is made, but above all for the result.<\/p>\n

Tasting note<\/h3>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Appearance<\/b>To the eye it shows a straw yellow colour with silvery glints.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Nose<\/b>On the nose it is floral, with notes of citrus fruit such as grapefruit which give it a great deal of freshness, and mineral notes too.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Palate<\/b>On the palate it is savoury, keeping its freshness, and mineral too. Once again sensations of sharp fruit and aromatic herbs such as scrubland, menthol and lavender come through, along with certain saline hints. There is also an undertow of memories of earth wet with rain (petrichor) and a very special mineral texture reminiscent of the cold limestone rocks of the Sierra de Tolo\u00f1o.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Pairing<\/b>It will pair ideally with salt-cured fish, smoked dishes and cured meats.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Winemaking<\/h3>\n

The grapes for this wine, of the Cari\u00f1ena Blanca, Mazuelo Blanco or Mazuela variety, come from the El Convento vineyard, on calcareous soil with river stones. Half the wine goes into a 500-litre porcelain egg as whole bunches, and the other half is destemmed, pressed and added to the same vessel. As fermentation proceeds, the whole grapes gradually burst. The whole process, between maceration, fermentation and ageing, lasts around eight months in this singular vessel. In the end barely 500 bottles of this marvel are filled.<\/p>\n
