VINIFICATION
PROCESS

The grape is harvested by hand, between 5 and 10 September. The must undergoes a classic vinification for red wine, using a separate vat for each variety at 18 oC -23 oC. Cold Extraction is then applied for 12 to 15 days. This is followd by the separation of the grape marc from the fermented wine creating the final blend which is then left to mature for approximately 9 months in French oak barrels, and aged in the bottle for another 5 months.
