Aging

Initial aging under 'velo de flor' – natural yeast covering that develops under humid conditions in the cellar. Throughout the early years in the ‘criaderas,’ the wine acquires sharp notes that accentuates its dry palate. From the point of disappearance of the ‘velo de flor’ causes a second phase of oxidative aging that gradually will darken the wine and it will provide concentration and complexity.
