The north-facing vines are approximately 70 years old, bush-trained, dry-farmed, and certified ICEA biodynamic. The vineyard sits at around 800 meters elevation on white clay and calcareous limestone soils, and yields are kept to roughly 1 kg per plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTardana is a nearly extinct late-ripening white grape native to the Utiel-Requena and Manchuela border area. Its thick skin is the reason Terra exists: when Gratias noticed how much flavor remained locked in the skins after pressing their Tardana for their white wine Sol, they began fermenting with extended skin contact in clay tinajas (amphora) instead. The grapes for Terra are harvested later than those for Sol, sometimes as late as November, giving the skins maximum ripeness before maceration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, conducted entirely in clay tinajas. The wine ages on its lees for 4 months in tinaja, then is bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no cold stabilization. Total sulfur is reported at approximately 15ppm. Annual production is around 200 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is amber-colored with noticeable tannic grip from the extended clay-vessel maceration, balanced by lively acidity and concentrated aromatics of apricot, orange peel, honey, and white stone fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Gratias","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34727808565400,"sku":"GRATTERR18C","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/terra-tardana-orange-spain-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780187097","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/terra-orange-bodegas-gratias-spain-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
