General Information
Finca Racons 2018 is a unique white wine produced in a vineyard of the same name, covering 1.8 hectares, at over 700 meters above sea level. With agriculture based on biodynamic principles, macabeo grapes from old vines are cultivated to create this single varietal by Tomàs Cusiné, a white wine that stands out for its sophistication and body.
The winery Tomàs Cusiné began its journey in 2003 with the aim of producing characterful wines that faithfully define the expression of the territory, using the knowledge that winemaker Tomàs Cusiné has of the D.O. Costers del Segre. In recent years, the winery has been meticulously working the vineyard, applying precision winemaking. Tomàs Cusiné has 30 hectares of his own vineyard, which is cultivated in an ecological and sustainable manner.
For the production of Finca Racons (D.O. Costers del Segre), a manual harvest is carried out in boxes with strict grape selection and subsequent cooling. Low production for maximum expression. Once in the winery, the fermentation and aging process takes place in a 2000-liter French oak vat and a 500-liter barrel with its lees. With a limited production of 3000 bottles, Finca Racons 2018 is ideal to accompany all kinds of appetizers.
