At the arrival in the winery, the grapes are kept in a cold temperature hall. Afterwards, the wine is pressed for the enzyme extract. After the separation of the must from the skin, the alcoholic fermentation starts at a cool temperature of 64° F for 15 days. The wine is then racked in the stainless steel tanks for oxygenation. After that the wine remains in the tanks for 6 months. Before bottling, it goes through clarification and filtering. Once bottled, the wine ages for 6 additional months prior to release. Note: no malolactic fermentation. |
