ELABORATION AND AGEING: In mid October at the optimum point of maduration, the bunches are harvested in boxes of 15 kg. then pass through a selection table and destemmed to your encube in stainless steel tanks, where after a few days macerating in cold, will ferment at a maximum temperature of 26ºC. A period of 16 months in barrels, 75% French oak and 25% American oak, makes it an elegant wine, fine and subtle.
