The grapes were subjected to gentle pressing. After clarification by static decanting, the alcoholic fermentation occurred at about 15ºc, obtaining the base sparkling wine. 15% of the batch was fermented in French oak barrels of 3 and 4 years where it remained on the lees for 8 months. After tartaric stabilization of the base wine, the second bottle fermentation was then run. The bottle stage on the lees of the second fermentation was approximately 20 months.
