Completely fermented in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature between 25 ºC. Maceration of 28 days. Natural malolactic fermentation. Climate and soil: The weather is mild anddry, with sunny days and cool nights; and with a wide thermal amplitudebetween daytime and night-time, thus contributing to an excellenttannin development and a very good color and aroma concentration in ourgrapes.The soils are of alluvial origin, ranging from deep to shallow,rocky, with good drainage and moderate fertility. Vinification process: During the grape-picking season, all our grapes are hand picked and carried in plastic boxes of around 40 pounds (18 kg), reaching the winery in the most favourable conditions, where after a careful selection, the winemaking process begins. Man and technology interact in order to achieve excellence. After these initial steps, fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures. Afterwards, the wine rests and reaches its maturity in new oak casks. Depending on the wine to be made, it will complete its ageing in these casks or it will define its personality while resting in the bottle.

"The dawn puts an end to the darkness of the night and at the same time, it is the beginning of a new day full of light, energy and hope. This is the reason why in our winery we celebrate the “Time of the Dawn”, and this is also the reason for its name: “Tempus Alba”. We make our wines just as a father raises a son: honest, noble, complex and unique. The grapes used for these wines come from our own vineyards and they were hand picked at dawn, taking from it all the energy and sense of hope. Our Family
Nothing in life prepares us for the fulfillment
of dreams.
