Little organic matter and nitrogenous substances, level of low nutritional elements and little water availability during the summer.
Vinification
Selected grapes, destemmed and partially squeezed, with a high proportion of whole berries, with a maceration time of 20-25 days, with daily overruns. Controlled fermentation: 24-28 ºC. Indigenous yeasts, contained in the grapes themselves.
14 months in American oak barrels and French oak barrels with a medium toasted, which gives a toasted touch of mocha and sweet notes of vanilla and caramel. Ageing in bottle.
