Grape-picking is done by hand, caste by caste, when they reach the ideal point of ripeness, normally between the second fortnight of September and the first fortnight in October. The harvest is placed in small 10kg boxes. The wines are obtained after fermentation at a controlled temperature in order to preserve all their aromatic elegance, in very big wood barrels and a stainless steel tank, for 7 to 10 days. The wine is made through malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels and has a subsequent maturing period of 18 months in order to potentiate its structure and complexity.
