The whole berries had four days of cold maceration prior to fermentation and ten to twelve days of maceration at 25ºC after fermentation. Selected and native yeasts were used during the fermentation, which took place in tanks of 40,000 Lts. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place in tanks. Aging occurs in 70% in stainless steel and 30% in used oak barrels (three years old), followed by being aged in oak for four months.
