Vinification

Grapes are handpicked, de-stemmed and gravity fed into large wooden barrels for maceration which lasts about a month and is started with natural yeasts on the temperature at 30 degrees Celsius. We mix grapes at least three times a day and in that period wine goes through malo- lactic fermentation. After pressing it is aged at least two years in big wooden barrels (1000 to 2500l).


Wine production: Fermentation on the skins in open vats, without the addition of selected yeasts and enzym

Aging: In large wooden casks

Bottle: 0,75 l, 1,5 l, 3 l
