This Purple Moscatel is the result of intense work shared between the vineyard and the winery. The vineyard was monitored and cared for at all times so that yields did not exceed 2,500 litres/ha and the grapes arrived at the winery in a healthy state and at the ideal ripeness. The winery devised a “proprietary” vinification process for this product, different from that which was usual in other companies in the region. It consists of an intense selection of bunches followed by a pre-fermentation maceration for 5 days, after which fermentation is allowed to begin very slowly and evenly throughout the vat, reaching ¾ of the fermentation in 3 days. This wine is enriched with the best wine spirits available on the market selected by the company’s technicians, followed by a post-fermentation maceration of 5 long months. The final aging is carried out in 225 litre French oak barrels (2 to 3 wines used), where it is left to concentrate. The best barrels were selected for this wine.
