Vinification: Grapes from Finca los Azares (Bodegas Ayuso's vineyard). Ripening control in the field to determine the optimum harvest date, with analysis of physical-chemical parameters for technological ripening. Controlled grape reception, with quality and sanitary controls in the unloading area. Fermentation by carbonic maceration technique. This technique consists of initiating fermentation inside the grape berry in order to enhance the aromas of the grape variety. Malolactic fermentation with co-inoculation of oenococcus oeno to enhance the typical aromas of the variety and avoid deviations. Subsequent devatting and refining until bottling.
