Wine Making / Aging: Once grapes are in the winery, they are kept at a constant cold temperature. The stemmed grapes start cold maceration with the skins in the must to impart their flavour to it. After pressing, cold fermentation begins, lasting 21 days, at a temperature of 13.8° C. This allows maximum freshness to be retained in the wine. Awards: Gold medal wines under 30’s.
