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
