Winemaking: We believe that the production of quality wines begins in the vineyard. Through a careful selection of grapes, taking into account their “health” status and stage of maturity. During the harvest the grapes in the cellar are handled with all the care necessary to preserve all its quality and potential. The white wine is made in stainless steel tanks, with total stemming, pressing at low pressures and low quantities, settling between 7 and 10 ° C. The fermentation is controlled at low temperatures, between 13 ° C and 15 ° C until it finishes. The red winemaking is done in stainless steel vats, the stemming is total and we do a pre-fermentation maceration for 1 to 2 days. The fermentation (Alcoholic) is controlled at temperature of 25 ° C. The aging of the wine is made in barrels of American oak or French oak depending on the grape variety and wine.
