Vinification
The hand-harvested grapes were fermented in separate stainless steel 10 tanks for up to 10 days at a controlled temperature between 22°c to 24°C. After four days the grapes were pressed and transferred to stainless steel to complete fermentation and undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged for 12 months: 30% in used French oak barrels and the remainder in stainless steel.
