The grapes are whole-cluster pressed. The must is decanted at low temperatures ranging between 5º to 8ºC (41º to 46ºF). Then the must is fermented in our winery in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts at temperatures ranging from 14º to 16ºC (57º to 61ºF) during a twenty-day period allowing the extraction of its varietal aromas. The wine is then placed in stainless steel guard tanks for 3 months before being bottled and launched on the market. |
