Winery: Bodegas Félix Callejo.
Elaboration: Vintage by hand in boxes and subsequent selection of grapes in double tables. The destemmed and untreated grapes are taken to the fermentation tanks to make a cold pre-fermentation at 10° C.
The native yeasts begin the fermentation towards the fifth day after the incubating. It is left to marinate with the skins for 3 days after the end of the alcoholic fermentation and is uncovered to another tank to carry out the malolactic fermentation spontaneously.
In January it is racked to French oak barrels for 6 months aging before bottling.
