Vinification

The grapes were destemmed immediately after harvest, after which the must, together with the berry skins, was transferred into a vinificator, where it macerated for 1 day at 8 °C. This was followed by pressing and static sedimentation at 8 °C. Fermentation took place in barrique barrels at an uncontrolled temperature. The wine was aged in wooden barrels for 12 months and then transferred to stainless steel tanks, where it remained until bottling.
