For this variety of wine we made several selections: firstly the vineyards, grape bunches, and then casks. The grapes were hand-picked in small 20 kg crates, and when they reached the winemaking facilities we picked out the best bunches. The grapes used are from vineyards over 80 years old. Separate fermentation was carried out in 500 litre french oak casks. Fermentation and subsequent maceration took 2 weeks. The crianza process carried through in new french oak casks, remained for 18 months. The wine was then directly bottled, with no stabilisation or filtration procedures.
