Wine making details:
All the stems of the grapes were removed with partial crushing of the berries. The must was cooled to reduce the temperature immediately after crushing to maintain flavors and aromas and reduce the level of SO2. Cool pre-fermentation maceration for 72 hour to extract primary flavors and color. Fermented in stainless steel tanks with jackets at 25°C. Total maceration period between 20 to 35 days. Natural malolactic fermentation at 16°C. No fining and this is an unfiltered wine.
