Winemaking
The must underwent fermentation in unlined concrete vats using indigenous yeasts, incorporating 15% whole cluster fruit arranged in layers with 10% at the bottom and 5% at the top. Fermentation temperature was maintained at a consistent 22°C (72°F) throughout the process. Following fermentation, the wine aged in concrete vessels for 15 months before bottling. Extended bottle ageing was employed to manage the oxidative characteristics typical of this warm vintage, allowing gradual refinement of the palate structure in a controlled, low-oxygen environment.
