Vinification
The grapes come from an over 60 years old vine. They were picked up in small cases at the end of September separating the best bunches. After being destemed, grapes fermented for 6 days with temperature control at 26ºC. The malolactic fermentation occurred in stainless tank and then the wine aged for 9/12 months in new French oak barrels. It has been bottled without filtration and kept for more 6 months before commercialized.
