Harvest manual

Vinification The best plots provide the grapes for this wine. The grapes go into small crates to the cellar. After destemming, they go to marble lagares. There, the grapes are foot-trodden, and alcoholic fermentation takes place. The wine then matures for 24 months in French oak barrels.
