Winemaking
Cold soak of the skins to the juice prior to fermentation for a few days to transfer good phenols and structure from the grapes, before the appearance of alcohol. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with regular pumping-over to extract color and tannins. After the malolactic conversion, the wine is transferred to 300lt French oak barrels, 50% new, for 12months maturation. Return to the tanks after maturation for settling and bottling.
