CONSUMPTION: Perfect for consumption. Its characteristics and the production technique used enable its development in the bottle until 2022. It is advisable to decant the wine at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance oxygenation. It may contain sediments that do not affect the quality of the wine, as a result of not having undergone any filtration process to get a more natural wine.
