Vinification: the harvest occurs during the first decade of October when grapes are subjected to a natural drying process in the vineyard.

That last step ends naturally when the 14% of the alcohol volume is reached, resulting in 80g/l of sugar residue.
Ageing: wine ages in steel keeping the specific qualities of the grapes intact.
