WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, often during the cooler night temperatures to preserve primary fruit aromas. Upon arrival at the state-of-the-art cooperative cellar, the grapes undergo gentle pneumatic pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures (14-16°C) to maximize the extraction of fresh esters and varietal aromatics. The wine is kept on its fine lees for a short period before being clarified, cold-stabilized, and bottled early to retain its youthful, vibrant character.
