La cosecha: The 2006 harvest was qualified as Very Good by the Ribera del Guadiana Regulation Board. The rainfall, temperature and daylight hours were favourable for an optimal grape ripening that was positively influenced by the warm days and cool nights of September.

The harvest is undergone during the nights of September and after a careful selection and a gentle destemming and crushing, wine is transferred to small stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, after a 48 hours cold maceration, the alcoholic fermentation is carried out under controlled temperature, followed by a maceration that lasted 14 days. After the malolactic fermentation the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels of 225 L. and 300 L.
