WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with daily pump-overs to extract color and soft tannins. The wine is aged for approximately 10 to 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels to add complexity and structure without overpowering the vibrant fruit character.
