Vinification
The grapes were picked by hand into lug boxes weighing roughly 17kg each. Grapes were sorted three times before proceeding to stainless steel tanks and transported, without pumping, into the fermentation vessels. A combination of old-style winemaking techniques with modern technology takes care of creating our unique hand crafted wine. Fermented at 24-26.5˚C for 11 to 16 days.
