CONDITIONS TO KEEP WINES

The place where the wines are located does not have to undergo abrupt changes of temperature, this would have to oscillate between the 12ºCs and the 18ºCs.
The humidity of the enclosure must be around 50%. It must not have direct light, since this produces molecular alterations that with time spoil wines.
The bottles must be always laid down so that the wine is in contact with the enemy with the cork and this not reseque.

THAT WINES TO KEEP

• The targets must drink young, their virtues stay just a short time in the bottle. Those that they were fermented in oak support more time of guard, up to 3 or 4 years,

• The frothy ones do not have to be kept.

• For the pink ones the same guidelines are due to respect that stop the targets.

• The red young people, frutados are of short guard (2 years).

• The red raisings and bred reserves in oak are most durable, and improve in bottle during 4 to 6 years.
