Vinification
The first selection of grapes takes place in the vineyard.
They are handpicked at the optimum moment for each parcel of vines.
The Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah were picked during
the first week of October and the Old Vine Garnacha during the
following week. The varieties were vinified separately. They were each
fermented between 25º and 28ºC and left on their lees for up to twenty days.
