Winemaking Process

The winemaking process emphasizes quality and flavor:

Harvesting: Grapes are handpicked and sorted using a mechanical vibration sorting table.

Cold Maceration: The grapes undergo two days of cold maceration at temperatures between 5-10°C to enhance flavor and color extraction.

Fermentation: Initiated with commercial yeast, fermentation is temperature-controlled at 24°C.

Maturation: After fermentation, the wine is matured on the skins for an additional two weeks before being pressed. It then spends 16 months in French oak barrels (3rd, 4th, and 5th fill) to maintain the clarity of fruit while introducing subtle oak characteristics.
