Production
Manual harvest of grapes, done in the morning looking for the best temperature. It is transported to the winery where it is placed in a cold room at a controlled temperature of 5º. The grapes are processed by passing them through a vibrating selection table. Subsequently, the grapes are destemmed and macerated before pressing, in the case of the 2018 harvest, for 2.5 hours. Low-pressure pressing selects the must that is settling by gravity. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, it is aged on its fine lees for seven months.
