Vinification:

The grapes are destemmed and left to macerate for about a month. 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.

Aging:

A couple of rackings are performed, and then the wine is aged in barriques for about six months. The wine is then racked into stainless steel tanks and left to mature until bottling in August.
