WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Cabernet Sauvignon begins with a two-day cold soak before inoculation with yeast. Fermentation involves regular pump-overs and manual punch-downs, reaching a maximum temperature of 27°C. Extended skin maceration follows for 14-18 days post-fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is completed in barrel, after which the wine matures for 18 months in 225-liter French oak barrels, with 100% of them being first-fill. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness.
