Harvest manual

Vinification The grapes are hand-harvested and selected. After destemming, they go to marble lagares. These are stone troughs where the grapes are pressed by foot. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at low temperatures. The wine then matures for twelve months in new and used French oak.
