Viticulture
Grapes selected from vines of more than 60 years of age, planted at more than 900 metres altitude, favouring slow ripening and conserving acidity in the grapes, essential factors for the subsequent barrel-ageing of the wine.

Maturation
Ageing in French and American oak barrels of 225-litre capacity for 15 months, followed by more than 20 months' ageing in bottle.
