Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were hand-picked in the early hours of the morning and on arrival at the winery were first completely destemmed and left to rest on the skins. There followed a gentle pressing of the berries, followed by a three-day resting period of the juice. The clear juice was then skimmed of the settling sediment and selected yeasts were added. Fermentation continued at a regulated temperature of 13-16°C for between 21 and 30 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine aged on its lees for another two months, with regular stirring up and down of the yeast to maintain a nice complexity and structure in the wine. The different tanks were finally blended and stabilized to bottle.
