Notes from the Producer: Careful vine management to enhance all the fruit potential. Night Harvest,
Destemming and gentle crushing followed by fermentation in traditional
cement tanks, with indigenous yeasts at temperature controlled at 22-25º C, with smooth pump-overs for best extraction of the phenolic compounds.
After elaborating the blend, the wine aged for 3 years in the cement tanks
allowing a smoothness and a natural stabilization of the fenolic compounds. Before botting the wine was lightly filtered.
