Serving & Winemaking

Serve at 16-18 °C to allow its aromas and texture to open up. Made in Toro under biodynamic / natural viticulture practices, using old vines (often 50–90+ years), fermented in large concrete vats with strict temperature control (not exceeding ~24 °C), followed by aging / malolactic fermentation in French oak. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its natural fruit intensity and texture.
