Winemaking
The grapes, carefully selected from specific plots, are harvested at their optimal ripeness to ensure ideal acidity and freshness. They are then meticulously handpicked and transported to the winery in 1000 kg bins. Upon arrival, the grapes undergo rigorous inspection on a sorting table, followed by de-stemming and gentle crushing. The juice is extracted through a delicate pressing process and transferred to stainless steel tanks, where it is kept at 8ºC for 48 hours to allow for decanting. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 14ºC over a period of 30 days.
Aging
100% of the blend is matured in stainless steel vats with occasional lees stirring, remaining on the fine lees for 6 months.
