Vinification

The grapes, coming from Old Vines, are taken to the winery in plastic boxes and undergo strict selection on arrival. On arrival in the winery they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes with their stems are then slightly crushed and transferred to a traditional stone tank ("lagar") where they are foot trodden. Aer this, the grape spirit is added to stop the fermentation and fortify the wine.
