Climate
After a dry and cold winter spring started with high temperatures, forcing an early shoot. Strong frost at the end of April caused some damage. Dryness continued until mid of August, for this both flowering and maturation ran quite irregularly. From end of August until the harvest the temperature difference between day and night was notable, for this grapes could be picked with an excellent phenolic ripeness. 

Vineyards
In the municipality of Anguix, the grapes were selected in four plots: Molino and Dujos, trained in a trellis system, and Fuente Cojo and Pincha Ratas, trained in bush style.

Harvest
Grapes were sourced on September, 19th, hand picked using boxes of fifteen kilos, selected and de-stemmed in the winery. The must fermented during eleven days with indigenous yeast only.

During ten months in barrels of French oak and in a concrete tank.
