• Vineyards

  Old vines with low yields, selected from vineyards located in four different districts,chosen, after years of research, for their particular soils and mesoclimates and which constitute the four pagos or estates whose grapes give rise to our wines.
  
  

• Harvesting

  Harvesting takes place throughout the month of October, with each plot being harvested in its ideal moment of ripeness. The fruit is picked using small crates of 15kgs and then rapidly transferred to the wine cellar where those clusters which do not meet the ideal characteristics are removed from the sorting table.
  
  

• Ageing

  Aged from 4 to 6 months in new, American oak and French oak casks made in different cooperages and from forests of different origins. Each year, in accordance with the special characteristics of each harvest, the wine remains in the barrel for the optimum perio of time needed in order to obtain a perfectly rounded wine, smooth in the mouth, in which the fruit takes precedence, accompanied by the nuances conferred by the barrel.
  
  

• Tasting

  Bright garnet red in colour denoting youth and freshness. Intense aroma where the notes of red fruits intermingle with fine nuances of new barrel, blending all these elements in harmonious balance. In the mouth it is fine, gentle and soft, with good volume and persistence. Pleasant and suggestive aftertaste.
