Classic fermentation method with destemming and pre fermentative skin contact followed of the application of dry yeasts. Fermentation up to 30º C in the first 2/3, and lowering down to 20º C during the last 1/3. During the whole fermentative process, pumping over 2 times per day, using each time half of the volume contained in the vat. After the alcoholic fermentation, the cap is plunged for 30 days, and during that period, extraction of the gentle tannins is conducted, along with the malolactic fermentation and the natural stabilization of the wine.

Its a wine of great intensity and smoothness with red matured fruit and notes of vanilla.
Excellent with food or by itself. Try with red meat, game and cheese dishes. We recommend to serve at the temperature of 16-18ºC.
