Fermentation takes place with temperature control, maintained around 22°C. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, and then spends a further 12 months aging in bottle. This process is overseen with a commitment to sustainability, as certified by the Chilean wine industry's National Sustainability Code.
