Harvest | Grapes are harvested and vinified separately. The grapes are harvested in small boxes and first transported on a vibrating table, then go through a destemming machine, and finally each berry is individually cut to preserve the integrity of their skins (and their aromas). |
Wine making | The resulting mass of berries and juice is then taken to a horizontal stainless steel (maceration system) to start fermentation, which lasts up to 18 days at a lower temperature of 23 to 25 °C. The first must is then separated from its skins and then returned to the stainless steel, where we apply micro-oxygenation for about 10 to 12 days to avoid any possible bad aroma. Finally, a static decantation is applied for about 10 5 days to decant the wine. |
Aging | After this process, we blend the masses together and age them in French Baron barrels for 18-24 months before bottling. |
Allergens | Contains sulphites |
