Selected Clones free of virus. Pruning cuts. Passes of green pruning to clear, pruning in the face of this (morning sun) of the rows, and thinning of clusters. Irrigation: due to the low rainfall of the area, to the poverty of the soils and the presence of a plant cover, it is vital to the irrigation. We use techniques of deficit irrigation controlled by applying water stress. Integrated Control of Pests: do not use insecticides or antibotrytis. Low pressure for mildew and control of oidium mainly with organic products. Vintage: to decide the optimal time of harvest, apart from the monitoring of ripening analytical, it also makes the tasting of the grapes to evaluate the maturity of the phenolic of these. It performs selective harvesting, harvesting the grapes and making the different terroirs separately. After a winter in which the vine has been sitting in conditions sweet and with a precipitation rate lower than usual, the spring with abundant rainfall and low temperatures delayed the outbreak of the vine more than usual. The summer characterised by high temperatures, with no rain, it has been some blockage in the plants as a result of the need of the plants close their stomata to prevent excessive dehydration which has resulted in a defendant's retardation in the time of ripening, especially in young plants and in those located on land more arid.
