Vinification Process: The Cabernet Franc grapes are pre-selected on the vine, reducing the yield to about 3-4 clusters per plant. After manual harvest, the grapes are refrigerated at 39.2 °F (4°C), before going through another selection. The must is briefly macerated before beginning gradual fermentation at 64.4-82.4 °F (18-28 °C) for about 15 days in stainless steel tanks and truncated conical oak barrels (50hl). The wine then macerates on the skins for 15-20 more days.
