- Do not abuse the extraction during winemaking. C
- ontrol the fermentation processes to avoid stridency.
- Properly select the barrels for aging, considering the grain of the wood, the roasting.
- Do not extend the aging time in the barrels beyond what is necessary.

The vineyard
Most of the vineyard was planted in 2012 with native varieties such as Premsal Blanc, Manto Negro, Giró Ros and Callet and some of the most important international ones such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malvasia in a total of 100 ha. The viticulture process is carried out following strict criteria, most of them manual, from the pruning of the vine to the harvesting. The climate of the area is of a typically Mediterranean character, with an average temperature of 17º C with slightly cold winters and dry and very hot summers, optimal for the ripening of the fruit, all creating a characteristic “terroir”.
The Winery
The winery was founded in 2014 with a clear objective: the production of high quality wines, introducing the latest technology applied to winemaking. The winemaking process is with low-yield presses and high quality musts, passing to stainless steel tanks, for a temperature-controlled fermentation, obtaining wines generous in aromas and covered with color. Use of aging processes in French oak barrels and sleepers, followed by aging in bottle. The bottling process is carried out entirely in the winery, closing the production cycle, with all productions being limited and numbered.
