Winemaking: Minimal intervention winemaking. Maceration with the skins for 4 hours, soft pressing and static racking. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in new 600-liter French oak barrels, where it remains in contact with the fine lees.
Aging: 14 months in new 600 l French oak “bocoyes” (big barrels), lightly toasted.
Alcohol Content: 13% Vol.
