The grapes are hand picked at the perfect state of ripeness. After picking they are carefully transported to the winery and cooled down in cold chambers. The grapes undergo a period - usually one day - of pre-fermentative maceration and then the fermentation process begins, in stainless steel vats with temperature control, until the desired sugar level is reached. At this stage, wine brandy is added to the must to stop fermentation.

Each of the wines was aged in wooden casks for different periods of time, with the average age of the blend defining the age of the final product.
