Winemaking
Handpicked grapes are de-stemmed after going through a selection table. The grape varieties ferment separately in stainless steel tanks, with a controlled temperature. The alcoholic fermentation lasts approximately 10-12 days making regular pumping over and delestage operations to favor the contact of the must with the skins and extract slowly the aromas and the phenolic compounds. Tempranillo is aged for 34 months in 225-litre American oak barrels and Mazuelo is aged for 34 months in 225-litre French oak barrels. After blending, the wine remains for 20 months in a concrete tank until bottling.
