Winemaking 

For centuries, in this wine region, the Monastrell grape has reigned over other varieties. They reach their peak in the high elevations that allow a slow and late ripening, thus transmitting a fruity character and soft palate. For this wine, the grapes are hand-picked from 30 year-old vines during 2 weeks in October. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for 25 days at max temperature of 25°C. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine stays in stainless steel tanks until packaging. 

Bag-in-Box: The 3L Box provides better value, it is lighter and easier to transport, all components are recyclable, keeps the wine in perfect condition for 6 weeks after opening. (optimum storing temperature is 14-16°C / 57-60°F)
