From the second decade of June, and for the whole month of July the temperatures gradually rose creating optimal conditions. August had notable thermal excursions and absence of rain generating the best conditions for perfect maturation of the grapes.

Fermentation on the skins for about 18-20 days, at controlled temperature below 28° C. in 150 hl wide and shallow stainless steel tanks, designed and built in order to extract tannins and colour efficiently but delicately. Ageing:
