WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process focuses on preserving vibrant primary fruit characters. Grapes undergo careful selection followed by cooling in specialized cooling tunnels to preserve delicate aromatics. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, accompanied by skin contact to extract color and soft tannins. The wine is aged entirely in stainless steel and cement vats, avoiding oak contact to maintain its fresh, fruit-forward profile and bright acidity.
