Harvesting and Elaboration: Our commitment to integral and environmentally friendly agriculture shines through in the care of our family-owned vineyards. Our pre-phylloxera vines, aged between 80 and 120 years, thrive in traditional low vine plantation systems. Grown in sandy soil, featuring boulders and gravel, they require minimal treatment and yield less than 3000 kg per hectare. Our grapes are meticulously hand-picked and selected, with each batch placed in 20 kg crates for further quality control. The wine is crafted using traditional methods, with light extraction and extended maceration and fermentation times. Aging takes place in new French Oak barrels, with various debourbages to achieve optimal clarity. JOTA de Tōro Reserva is clarified with vegetable protein, allergen-free, and slightly stabilized by cold, ensuring it does not fall below 0ºC during the process.

Aging: JOTA de Tōro Reserva matures gracefully for an impressive 16 to 24 months in new medium-toasted French Oak barrels. This extended aging period allows the wine to reach its full potential, creating a masterpiece of flavor and complexity.
