It is vinified by an ancestral process, the wort being placed in small open decanters of 1m2 where it remains between 24 to 36 hours to make the decanting through natural precipitation. At the end of this process, the wort is tranferred to stainless steel tanks where it ferments, with a temperature control made with cooled water drop. It is a wine that ferments only with indigenous yeasts, proper of the graoe, without any addition of enzymes or extra yeasts. Contains Sulfites.
