WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant primary fruit aromas. Gentle pump-overs are utilized to extract color and structural tannins without over-extracting bitterness. The wine is aged briefly in a combination of stainless steel and traditional large oak casks to soften the tannins while maintaining its fresh, lively character.
