Vinification
First selection is performed in the vineyard and only mature grapes are hand-picked, then carefully selected again at sorting tables. The philosophy is to ferment only good quality of grapes. The tanks are gravity filled without crushing the grapes. Cold maceration of whole berries takes 5 to 8 days at 10 - 12 °C to achieve the desired colour and fruit extraction. Alcohol fermentation with the addition of selected yeast strains is controlled at 24-26 °C for 8-10 days, in order to reach around 3-4 g/l residual sugar. Pump overs and pigeage are done in order to conduct slowly extraction from the grapes and achieve balance in wine. The hot maceration is carried out at 28-30 °C with the marcs followed by 10 to 15 days in temperature controlled concrete tanks. Malolactic fermentation continues in tanks and oak barrels, then ageing for about 18 months in oak barrels.
