VINIFICATION
Only the best grapes from the plots will be selected to participate in the winemaking process that will take place at the Pedrosa de Duero winery. After a three-day cold pre-fermentation maceration, the wine will be ready to ferment based on a seeding of selected native yeasts. This process takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is then decanted and transferred to French oak foudres where it will undergo malolactic fermentation and rest for a year. During this rest period, the lees are sometimes stirred, which will stabilize the wine, making fining agents unnecessary for bottling.

AGING
Aging for 12 months in the same vats where malolactic fermentation takes place. PAIRING This wine is ideal with cured meats, cured cheeses, red and white meats, and stews.
