Product details
The grapes are crushed in a press where they are fermented at a temperature of 27ºC for +/- 6 days. Alcoholic fermentation ends in oak casks where the wine remains on fine lees for around 3 months. During this period, bâtonnage is carried out at the first racking and the wine returns to the same casks. At the end of this stage, which takes the necessary time, another racking is carried out followed by bottling immediately, without filtration or stabilization. The wine aged in half new French oak barrels for 8 months.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
