Making process:
Harvesting by hand. The grapes are harvested in small boxes and refrigerated for 24 hours at 10ºC. Follows the final control of the grapes, which pass through the sorting table, and destemming. Pellicular maceration in press prior to pressing, gentle and with low yields. Fermentation at a controlled temperature of 15 ºC. 35% of the must is fermented in new 500 litre French oak casks and the rest in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged for six months to increase the complexity of the resulting wine. Wine for cellaring; optimum of two years
