Description
The production of this wine begins in January with the pruning of the oldest vines, at which time the optimum number of buds is adjusted for the balance of the plant. After months of care in the field, and once the grapes have reached the right degree of ripeness, they are harvested at night so that the grapes reach the winery at a low temperature and without unwanted maceration. Alcoholic fermentation and skin contact maceration are carried out for 25 days, thus achieving the maximum potential of the grapes. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked twice and then aged in barrels. The ageing process takes place in new French and American oak barrels for 18 months, during which time the wine is racked twice to help oxygenate the wine. After this period the wine remains in the bottle for a further 18 months to complete its ageing period.
