- Completely de-stemmed grape with cold maceration prior to fermentation, favouring the extraction of the colour and its berry-like aromatic power.
- Alcoholic fermentation during 25 days at 26-28ºC and advanced extraction of the skins to soften its tannic character. Daily pumping over and racking. Malo-lactic fermentation in wooden vat at 25ºC. Bottled 5 months before launched.
