Viticulture: Bush vines, all over 50 years’ old, cultivated according to organic viticulture practices.
Harvest: 1 October in 20-kilo crates and selected on a sorting table. A complex vintage with a late sprouting than the average of recent years, with a very rainy winter and spring. Summer also started with rain but from the last 2 weeks of July the rains stopped and conditions improved for the ripening of grapes.
Vinification: Cold static débourbage and controlled fermentation at 18-20ºC. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is racked into used French-oak casks where it remains for several months with its lees until time for bottling.
