Vinification
Grapes were hand-picked at the optimum of their maturity. Soft de-stemming and crushing was followed by fermentation at controlled temperature (23-28°C) in stainless steel tanks. Wine
was fermented using the cultural yeast strains. Skin and cap management was performed by délestage and remontage. After 12-15 days of maceration, wine was racked clean and transferred
for malolactic fermentation, followed by 8-10 month of aging in 225 l oak barriques and complemented by maturation in stainless steel tanks and bottles at the optimum temperature.
