- Olga Verde and Fran Bendaña
The grapes are fermented in stainless steel, with 30% whole clusters and 70% destemmed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, with gentle extraction to preserve the identity of the grape. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in tank, and is then aged in used barrels for 11 months.
