WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process begins with a cold pre-fermentative maceration for 3-5 days to enhance aroma extraction. This is followed by a long cuvaison of 8-10 days, involving daily punch-downs, and a fermentation period of 18-20 days at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 14-16 months, with a proportion of new oak used. Some winemaking protocols may include 30-45% whole bunch fermentation.
