Origin of the name: Conveniencia, a river in the past, today a ravine, meandering between the plots and letting an indelible trace that transmits its character to this white wine. With its force, the river swept along slimes, loose and rounded stones, ennobling permeable and generous soils.

Appellation: DOP Utiel-Requena.
Soil: clayey-chalky.

Harvest: By hand in small crates of 10 kg during the first two weeks of September for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and the last two weeks of September for Merseguera. The whole bunches are cooled down in cold storage at 5 ºC for 24 hours and pressed lightly and slowly. The must is clarificated by natural decantation at 8ºC for 48 hours.
Winemaking: Each grape variety is fermented separately at 17ºC during the first phase, after that, the temperature is gradually increased up to 22 ºC at the final phase.
