Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were cooled down to 3°C throughout the bunch and after careful selection they were completely destemmed. The hand-selected berries were then subjected to a 3 to 6 day cold swelling phase before natural fermentation began. The fermentation temperature was between 26 - 30ºC. After the wine was pressed, the malolactic fermentation was completed in oak barriques. Finally, the wine matured for a total of 20 months in French barriques, of which 25% were new wood, 50% second filled and 25% third filled.
