WINEMAKING
• Concentrated bunches of small grains are manually harvested in 18Kg plastic bins.
• Pre-fermentative macerations at 5°C in stainless steel tanks.
• Utilization of both native and selected yeasts for the fermentation process.
• Post fermentative macerations, totalize 25 days.
• Natural malolactic fermentation is carried in both American and French barrels of first, second and third use.
• Finalizing this process, 80% of the wine is aged in the same oak barrels for 12 months.
• A careful selection of barrels is made, looking for medium-toasted oak in order to outstand the freshness of the fruit.
• The wine is bottled unfiltered, and kept at the winery during 6 months.
