Vinification:

The grapes are destemmed and pressed, and the resulting must is left to macerate and ferment in contact with the skins. Frequent pumping overs are performed during the initial maceration phase, and once fermentation is complete, the must and skins are left in contact for several more days until complete extraction is achieved. After racking, the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation.

After vinification, the wine ages in French oak barriques for approximately 8-10 months. The wine is then transferred to stainless steel tanks and left to mature until bottling.
