They were hand picked to cases of 18 kgs, taken to the cellar and remained a full night to lower the temperature before the process started. They were then foot treaded in a old granitic lagar, and the fermentation was partially made in the barrels.

50% in 1st year, 50% in 2nd/3rd year 225 l. French oak barrels (18 mths) and then stainless steel vats (18 mths)
