Controlling phenolic maturation to obtain the maximum content of ripe sugars and tannins.

Harvest/Winemaking: The harvest was done manually in early March, in small boxes with a capacity of 17 kg. Careful and delicate destemming to remove the stems without breaking them or tearing the skins. Traditional fermentation, with pump-overs four times a day and maceration for one week.

Finally, the wine was destined for aging. Before bottling, it underwent a light filtration to maintain the wine's characteristics as much as possible.
