Winemaking
The must ferments with the skins at a temperature between 25° and 28°C in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of about 15 days. It is periodically pumped over to facilitate the extraction of the compounds present in the skins. Malolactic fermentation confers smoothness to the wine, which is then aged in French oak barrels for approximately 18 months. It then rests in glass for at least 6 months.
