Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were hand-sorted with great care after harvesting and then completely destemmed, after which the individual berries were subjected to a second selection by hand and then lightly crushed. Fermentation took place with regular pumping over (every four hours) in stainless steel tanks to extract maximum color and aromas. The Merlot fermented dry on the skins before pressing, with the free-run juice and the pressed juice fermented separately kept in stainless steel tanks. Only part of the Merlot went through malolactic fermentation, while the other part remained in the tank. The wine then aged for 12 months in a combination of new, second, as well as third-fill French oak barrels.
