Vinification
Once at the winery, the grapes were carefully selected before being destemmed and gently crushed. They were then transferred to concrete tanks where spontaneous fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts for around two weeks, followed by malolactic fermentation . After fermentation was complete, the skins were gently pressed in a pneumatic press to extract the juice and then transferred to a combination of cement tanks and large untoasted oak casks to age.
