Winemaking
The grapes were harvested by hand into 300 kg containers. Harvest was carried out early in the morning to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the grapes until their arrival at the winery. Upon arrival, the grapes were sorted by hand and underwent a combination of whole bunch pressing, pressing of destemmed grapes and cold maceration for several hours, allowing the team to play with the aromatic extraction from the skins and level of structure. Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures of between 13°C and 14°C, for around 25 days. 30% of the wine was fermented in new oak barrels and remained there for 12 months before blended and prepared for bottling. Finally, the wine was filtered before being bottled.
