Winemaking
It is harvested in late September, early October. As it is a group of plots, it is made in stainless steel tanks, in open barrels and in egg barrels. After a cold maceration of approximately 7 days, the wine ferments naturally with its indigenous yeasts.
Ageing
Once fermented and pressed, it undergoes malolactic fermentation in the same 3-year old barrels where it undergoes alcoholic fermentation. Subsequently, the wine remains 12 months on lees, partly in barrels and partly in eggs.
