Winemaking
The grapes were hand-harvested in 10-kg trays and processed using two distinct vinification methods. The majority underwent traditional vinification with destemmed grapes fermented at 25°C, while a small proportion was processed through carbonic maceration of whole bunches. For the carbonic maceration portion, the wine was drained from tanks before fermentation completion to finish fermentation off the skins. Following alcoholic fermentation, all wine was transferred to ovoid concrete vats for a minimum 8-month ageing period during which malolactic fermentation occurred. The wine received gentle filtration before bottling.
