Soft pressing with elimination of the coloured fraction and achievement of the juice. Clarification with flotation with nitrogen to avoid the oxidation of aromas.

Static clarification during winter for the fraction in stainless steel, permanence on fine fermentation dregs for the fraction in barrels. Cold stabilization at the end of winter.

Bottle fermentation:
Carried out in the crescent moon week in March or April, in the year that follows the grape harvest, with the addition of yeasts for the secondary fermentation.
