Winemaking

This Gran Reserva was carefully made following a careful selection of 100% Tempranillo grapes, which are then de-stemmed and crushed, the must is fermented in Ganimede stainless steel deposits, which use the fermentation process? natural release of carbon dioxide to flood the cap automatically. This innovative method avoids oxidation and better preserves the colour and aromas of the wine. The alcoholic fermentation is followed by more days of maceration.
