Manual\u003cbr\u003emanagement of the vegetation must be combined with the use of traditional solutions. Tools such as\u003cbr\u003ethe reinforcement of the plant’s own defences, the use of biological substances and natural fertilisers,\u003cbr\u003etreatments with minerals present in nature (sulphur, copper, silicon, etc.), the use of plant extracts in\u003cbr\u003emaceration as well as the diffusion of sex hormones in the environment to prevent insects such as the\u003cbr\u003evine moth, etc. from mating.\u003cbr\u003eSOIL:\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyards far this wine feature old soil of alluvial, gravelly nature with excellent drainage and\u003cbr\u003eaeration. The grapes are normally grown under “vegetation cover” every year, or in the other words,\u003cbr\u003eallowing the surrounding vegetation to grow spontaneously, resulting in less strength therefore\u003cbr\u003eenabling the vines to grow at their own pace. In turn, this vegetation serves as nutrient and an agent\u003cbr\u003eto help balance the soil when it is cut down and buried in the vineyard at the end of its annual growth\u003cbr\u003ecycle.\u003cbr\u003eCLIMATE CONDITIONS:\u003cbr\u003eAtlantic, temperate, with marked seasons.\u003cbr\u003eSOIL CONDITION:\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyards far this wine feature old soil of alluvial, gravelly nature with excellent drainage and\u003cbr\u003eaeration.

The cool grapes go through a sorting table and are placed in vats after\u003cbr\u003ebeing destemmed. The whole grape is subjected to alcoholic fermentation, which is regulated at a\u003cbr\u003emoderate temperature with a relatively short maceration period in order to obtain a pleasant structure\u003cbr\u003eand a lively fruity expression. Once the fermentation process has ended, the wine is removed from the\u003cbr\u003evats and pressed. The entire process for the production of this wine consists of just a few procedures\u003cbr\u003eand mechanical work to preserve the natural fragrance of the wine. As well as through a totally\u003cbr\u003edifferent channel to the rest of the conventional winemaking.\u003cbr\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003cbr\u003eRuby colour with vivid glints as well as violet hues.
