The vines are trained in the vaso system and under go vigorous canopy management and green harvest during the maturation process beginning in June and finishing in August September. Vinification process begins in the vineyard where only the most perfectly mature bunches are selected beginning the end of September and finishing 15th to 20th of October.

WA: twice given 100 points “I gave pertect scores to the prodigious 2007 and 2009, two of the greatest expressions of old vine Grenache from the province of Aragon that anyone could have desire. The both possess pienty of black raspberry, blackberry,kirsch and licorice characteristics as well as an undeniable minerality and precision that are remarkable given their full-bodied, massive concentration and intensity.” ——100 points from Robert Parker
