WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal maturity to ensure fruit purity and structural integrity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by an extended maceration period to extract deep color and firm tannins. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels (barriques) for several months, allowing the oak components to integrate seamlessly and softening the tannin structure before final blending and bottling.
