Product details

Winemaking:
The harvest is done manually, with the bunches being hand-selected. The berries are destemmed and gently crushed. Traditional granite wine presses with foot treading were used as fermentation tanks; stainless steel fermentation vats for small batches; and food-grade PVC containers or fermentation in new 500-litre French wooden barrels. Each of these types of fermentation gives the wine a particular style. Single-varietal wines are the only ones aged in 500-litre barrels. After aging for between 15 and 20 months, they are bottled. All wines are sealed with natural cork. As they are not filtered or cold-stabilised, they may produce a precipitate with age.

Grape Varieties:
Alicante Bouschet
