Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were pressed slowly and gently to yield a very clear must. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks at temperatures of 17-18°C and lasted for one month. After fermentation, the wine was aged on its fine lees for four months with regular racking to add body and richness.
