The grapes were harvested at the optimum point of phenolic/aromatic maturation. After destemming and soft-crushing, pre-fermentative maceration took place for 4 days to add further complexity. The wine fermented at 26ºC with gentle pumping-over to preserve the fruit and extract the smooth tannins that provide vital balance |
