About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. The bunches are then dried for three months to concentrate their natural sugars. Fermentation begins in stainless-steel tanks at 25 °C. When the must reaches 11% alcohol, it is transferred to French oak barriques for slow completion of alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine is aged on its lees after fermentation.

Tasting profile

The palate is rich.
