Production Notes

Fully ripened grapes are hand-harvested with careful selection of the best bunches. They are immediately de stemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in small temperature-controlled tanks with daily pump-overs, followed by maceration for approximately 10–12 days to extract color, structure, and aromatic intensity.
