WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of this Merlot-Cabernet blend begins with destemmed and lightly crushed grapes. Fermentation takes place in upright steel tanks with selected yeast strains at temperatures between 24-26°C, incorporating 2-3 daily pump-overs for optimal extraction. Post-fermentation, the wine undergoes pressing and malolactic fermentation. Aging occurs in tanks, with a portion of the wine matured in American and French oak for 10 months to develop its character.
