The harvest was carried out manually into 20 kg boxes on 12th September, following a careful selection of the vines. Total destemming was performed without crushing, followed by gentle pressing and cold settling for 18 hours. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at approximately 15ºC over a period of 28 days. After fermentation, the blend was partially aged for three months in 225-litre French oak barrels with monthly bâtonnage. Finally, it was lightly filtered and bottled in January 2025.
