WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Cinsault begins with destemming the grapes, followed by a two-day cold maceration. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks over one week, with regular pump-overs of the skins to manage extraction. After fermentation, the wine is pressed and transferred to stainless steel tanks for malolactic conversion. The aging process is completed in stainless steel, focusing on preserving the wine's fresh fruit character.
