The grape selected goes from the stripping machine which
removes the stalks to the temperature-controlled stainless
steel fermentation vats. The fermentation is carried out
at 28 ēC and the maturation process lasts between 15 and
20 days. When the vat is emptied, the solid material is
passed through a pneumatic press for its gentle extraction.
The wine is cleaned chiefly through its decanting, avoiding
as much as possible any unnecessary movement.
Given that the process strives to be as natural as possible,
small sediments might appear at the bottom of the bottle
which do not affect the quality of the wine at all and merely
reflect its exquisite elaboration.
The ageing process in the French and American oak barrels
lasts a minimum of 6 to 12 months, depending upon each case,
and then the wine spends at least another two years in the
cellar.
