Vinification
Fermentation in open 1000 liter 'mastelone' vats. Light treading of whole bunches without destemming. Short but frequent hand extractions for ten minutes several times a day. After a week of maceration, the must and the clusters are pressed in a vertical press and the must, still with sugar to be fermented, finishes the fermentation in a 1000-liter manzanilla barrel.
Aging
aged under a veil of flor in the barrel for ten months. A veil of the genus 'Saccharomyces Beticus' is enhanced, which gives the wine a greater reduction and sharper cut to the wine since it consumes more glycerol than the flor yeasts 'Montuliensis' most common in the area of Jerez.
