Winemaking
The freshly harvested grapes are delicately pressed then left to ferment at a temperature of 26°C.
After 5-6 days, the wine is separated from the pomace and the fermentation is then completed at lower temperatures to bring out the fruity character of these grapes.
The malolactic fermentation follows.
Ageing
The softness and good balance of this wine mean it can already be enjoyed in the summer following the harvest.
No particular ageing process is needed.
Storage: Keep the bottle horizontal, in a cool and ventilated room, protected from direct light and vibrations.
