Vinification
The grapes were lightly crushed and then cooled to 8° C before gentle pressing in state of the art vacuum press. Free run juice is separated and moved into temperature controlled tanks for 2-3 days, until perfectly clear and bright. The juice is then transferred to stainless steel fermenters, where selected yeast begin the cool, long fermentation (3 weeks at 10°C). The wine is kept on fine lees until bottling for added palate weight and texture.
