Winemaking

Fermentation takes place in a 5,000-liter concrete tank, enough for the entire production of the vineyard. Vatting takes place by gravity: 15% of the whole bunches with stems are placed in the bottom, and later the tank is filled with destemmed grapes but without crushing, preserving the integrity of the grape. Fermentation is spontaneous with the vineyard’s own yeasts and maceration with the skins during this process lasts a total of 15 days.

Varieties
Mainly Garnacha Tinta, although in the vineyard there are occasional vines of Tempranillo, Viura, Malvasía, Graciano, Mazuelo and some unknown varieties.
