Technical Information

The ripening process of the grapes is strictly controlled while on the fields to determine the optimum harvesting moment that yields grapes with a perfect balance of sugar content and acidity. Then, the grapes undergo a cold maceration period for 3 or 4 days. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks that never rises above 25°C for 8 days. The result is an elegant, well-structured wine that is designed to be consumed young.
