Winemaking Information
Vinification Process: Grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and placed in a pneumatic press, where they are cold macerated for 12 hours at 8ºC. The juice is extracted at low pressure, clarified and fermented partially in stainless steel tanks at 12-14ºC and partially in French oak barrels with selected yeasts, afterwards, left in the barrels to mature for around six months.
Aging Process: When the barrel fermented wine is racked, the barrels are filled with stainless steel fermented wine, which is then matured for 3 months. Wine from different barrels is blended together, clarified, cold stabilized and bottled. The blend is with approximately 5-10% of barrel-fermented wine and the balance of stainless steel fermented wine.
