Harvested into crates, with cold maceration before fermentation.
An square-shaped concrete vat was used for the fermentations and ageing on the lees. Fining the traditional way with egg whites to preserve the structure and make the texture smoother.
After a year of drought and heatwaves, the rains in September slowed down the rapid maturation. This favored the synthesis of round tannins and intense colorations. The optimal health of the fruit at those altitudes allowed for longer macerations and, therefore, wines with great extraction.
