For the grapes processing and winemaking the collaboration with the GIBA cellar and the enologist Andrés Garcia Blas has been selected.
The grapes are worked in the cellar on the same harvest day. After weighing the grapes are grinded and dirasped. The must is then transferred to the controlled temperature wine vinegar where it will ferment for two weeks by macerating with the skins. Malolactic occurs immediately after the end of the alcoholic fermentation, after which the new wine is poured and let it rest until the day of bottling which takes place between the end of spring and early summer.
