ELABORATION
Once we have chosen the best grapes form El Musco, we introduce them in stainless steel vats of 5.000 litres where the pre-fermentative maceration takes place for the next 3 days. Once the alcoholic fermentation has begun, the wine is pumped over slightly each day. After fermentation, maceration with the skins is prolonged for 7 days. The second fermentation (malolactic) is also carried out in this tank and then transferred to French oak barrels. After the time in barrels, it is transferred to a concrete tank to round it off and achieve the long, structured and persistent wine that characterizes it. After this, it is transferred to the bottle, where it rests for at least 14 months until it is released to the market.
