How It Was Made:
Manual harvest in boxes of 20 kg. The grapes are gently pressed and the wine must is directly transferred to the oak barrels in order to start the fermentation process, at a temperature of 22-24ºC. In the last stage of fermentation, we use cold temperature to filter the wine and stop the fermentation, leaving around 30 g/ of sugar. This results in a wine of great balance between the alcohol acquired, the residual sugar and its own natural acidity from the grape. The long aging in oak barrels for 6 years contributes to the development of complex aromas, typical for this wine. Aging in different French oak barrels; one barrel of 400 liters, one of 300 liters, and two barrels of 225 liters. The oak barrels have been used from one to three wines before.
