Grapes are carefully destemmed as in the Crianza wines and hand-picked from the best south- facing vineyards plots to ensure perfect ripening.
The wine is aged for 2 years in oak barrels - 50% French and 50% American oak barrels-, then bottled and allowed to rest in the cellar for an additional year before release, developing its full character and complexity.
