Technical Information
Harvested at night in early October, cooler temperatures allow the grapes to retain their wonderful aromatic character. Before proper pressing, the run juice with the grapes’ skin is left to macerate for 4 to 6 hours at low temperature. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks between 14 and 15oC. The wine making process is carefully controlled at every stage. The result is a fresh and delicate wine.
