Elaboration: The grapes are chosen in selection tables by our team. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is carried out in French oak barrels of 400L at controlled temperature and later aged on its lees. Wine is bottled without clarifying to preserve its aromas and structure. By its natural processes of elaboration, it can produce some precipitate in bottle that does not alter its qualities.

Vintage: The year began with a wet winter, with the usual rains. The spring was warm and drier than usual, and thus it continued until the harvest. A very good maturation was achieved, although the plants suffered drought in the last periods of the summer. The grape harvest went ahead, and took place between 2nd and 18th of September.
