The vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on slate soils in Catalonia.

After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by ageing for several months in oak barrels.
