Winemaking Manual harvest in 500 kg racks. of our Graciano, Garnacha and Mazuelo grapes. Each variety is vinified separately, carrying out the fermentation in separate oak vats where alcoholic fermentation takes place. After being vatted in their respective wooden vats, and with different maceration times (12 hours for Graciano, 16 hours for Garnacha and 12 hours for Mazuelo), they are bled into stainless steel micro-tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16-18ºC for 10 days, with the aim of preserving their organoleptic potential to the maximum. Once fermentation is finished, all the tanks are blended to obtain a special rosé wine. After the blend, the wine is aged in large barrels (500 litres) and in concrete tanks to preserve its freshness.
