This wine is made from specially selected Old Garnacha wines located in the sun-soaked mountains of Yerga. The Garnacha´s affinity for its terroir enables it to demonstrate its capabilities as a premium varietal.
Harvesting beings in the first half of October; this is when the grapes have reached their optimum phenolic ripeness. Fermentation then takes place in temperature controlled tanks that range 26-28 degrees. The wine regularly undergoes pumping over in order to ensure that the maximum amount of colour and aromatics are extracted. After this process is complete, the wine spends up to 12 months in both French and American oak.
