Harvested by hand at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process based on careful maceration with extraction of color, tannins and aromas from the films, complemented by permanent reassembly during fermentation. This takes place in mills, at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baumé degree. At this stage, the wine brandy (benefit) is added, giving rise to a fortified wine. High quality wine from a single harvest. It ages in wood for variable periods of time, never less than 7 years, and then bottled according to market requests. Intense brown color with brick halo, illustrating its longevity. It presents an engaging bouquet of dried fruits, with well-marked smoke notes. Silky and delicate on the palate. Endowed with excellent structure and sophisticated elegance. The flavors of plum, dried figs and vanilla are disputed, forming a unique and divine style. End of great persistence. Contains sulfites.
