Elaboration
Manual harvesting of the better bunches of grapes out of our plot Viña del Olivo (around an approximately 1000 year old olive tree), that were put in 20 kilo baskets to transport them into the winery to be fermented in our 100 hecolitre French oak winemaking vats at 28-30ºC for 10 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in new French oak barrels, and for the barrel ageing we put the wine in French, American and Hungarian oak casks successively along 17 months. Finally, the wine has stayed ageing in bottle for over a year.
