The vines are between 20 and 70 years old, within the DO Jumilla wine region of southern Spain. The poor, shallow, and calcareous soils, combined with the area\u0026#39;s extremely dry climate, put considerable strain on the vines, resulting in a very high-quality fruit. Monastrell from this region is traditionally trained in a 3x2 or 3x3 trellis system with calyx pruning. The grapes are hand-harvested in small 15 kg crates during the second and third weeks of September, at their optimal ripeness. Harvesting takes place in the first hours of the day, ensuring the grapes arrive at the winery at a temperature of approximately 15°C. The grapes undergo two sorting stages before being transferred to the cellars. Fermentation occurs in 7,000-liter truncated cone-shaped tanks (the inverted shape is thinner, allowing for gentler and less aggressive pressing) at a controlled temperature of 28°C. The wine is then aged in new French oak barrels, 240 and 450 liters, from four cooperatives (Seguin Moreau, ANA, Saint Martin, and Saury).

A touch of European tradition permeates the vineyards, where classic Rhône grape varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, and Mourvèdre were already being cultivated in 1840.
