Winemaking Techniques
The wine making process consists of a soft pressing of the grapes and a cold decantation for 24 hours. Therefore, for 90% of the must, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 18 and 20°C, for 50 days. Then it is left to rest on its own yeasts, for another 80 days, whilst the 10% of the must is fermented in wooden casks, and after 90 days, it is then added to the 90%. Once assembled it is left in the bottle for 2 months.
