WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes were selectively harvested from estate vineyards at optimal ripeness. Fermentation took place in small open-top fermenters with regular plunging to gently extract color and tannins. The wine was then matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels for approximately 12 to 18 months before blending and bottling, ensuring a balance of rich fruit and structured oak integration.
