This is followed by maceration at 22°C until the last 2 days of alcoholic fermentation when the temperature is raised to 27°C. |
| Aging | After alcoholic fermentation, the wines are racked, separately, into barriques, where they undergo malolactic fermentation and where they age for age 6 months. At the end of this period, the blend is made, which is aged for 6 months in barriques and for a further 6 months in bottles. |
