Preparation (IV/IV)

During the summer of 2003 the barrels were kept in the deepest and coolest part of the cellar. Only after the hard work of the grape harvest and with the calmness deserved did we start to test the wines to assess the "coupages" or mixtures on different days and with the assistance of outstanding "sommeliers" both national and international the final combination of the different varieties, a treasured secret closely kept by the wine-cellar as the choice was complicated.

The wines were mixed in February of 2004 and the mixtures were stored for two months in large barrels so that there would be maximum cohesion between the different varieties. At the beginning of May they were lightened with natural eggwhite.

Such extraordinary results of the finished product and the approach of the great event which represented the Royal Wedding of the Prince and Princess, encouraged us to crown this magnificent wine by bottling it on the very same day.
