Climate and Soil
In Alter Pedroso, where the vineyard is located, the climate is typically Mediterranean, characterized by dry and hot summers that allow for optimal maturation of the vines.
With an altitude of approximately 400m, it allows a thermal amplitude of around 15º during the summer between dawn and midday. The soil is clay-limestone which explains the quality, finesse and uniqueness of each of the region's wines.

Subsequent aging on fine lees in second-year French oak barrels for 6 months, followed by 6 months of bottle aging.
