Production and aging

Pago de los Capellanes Crianza is a single varietal wine made from 100% Tempranillo grapes. The grapes are harvested in early October. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, controlled alcoholic fermentation begins, with the addition of selected yeast from the best vineyards for 30 days, with daily pump overs. Malolactic fermentation takes place without the addition of bacteria, and the cellar is kept at 20ºC for 24 days, controlling the levels of malic and lactic acid.

The wine is aged for 12 months in new and 2-year-old French oak barrels of 300 liters, made from selected grains.
