Production
Traditional vinification. After selective manual picking the clusters are destemmed by gravity directly falling into the fermentation tank not using any type of pump.

Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks of 25000 Kg, during 8 days with temperature-controlled fermentation between 28ºC and 30ºC, extended post-fermentative maceration on the skins for 6 days, with two pump-overs daily in the beginning with a light pump-over daily at the end. After is realized the manual pressing inside of the tanks for extracting the maximum wine of natural form. 

Aging
Oak cask of American 80% and French oak 20%, during 12 months. Bottling in September of 2018.
