Fermentation / Yeast Type / Vessel:  The grape boxes are received in the cold chamber and remain there until they reach temperatures of 2ºC. The grapes pass through a selection table before and after de-stemming, entering by gravity to small oak tanks and fermentation barrels. After a cold maceration for 10 days, the alcoholic fermentation is carefully conducted at 26-28°C. During the post-fermentation maceration, the wine is tasted every day to decide the moment of drain and press. Malolactic fermentation is made in barrels.
