WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks for eight days at temperatures between 24-28°C, with natural fermentation utilized. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes 14 months of aging in 500-liter French oak barrels, including 10% new oak, and then spends four months in concrete tanks. A period of bottle aging precedes its release. The winery practices organic viticulture and focuses on controlled yields.
