TECHNOLOGY
The grapes are harvested and sorted in small baskets by hand in September/October and then destemmed and crushed. The crushed grapes undergo short fermentation /maceration (6/8 days) at (23/25 °C). During the fermentation/maceration period the fermenting wine is pumped over more frequently in order to extract a lot of colour and less tannins from the skins so as not to compromise the freshness of the wine. Drawing off and malolactic fermentation follow; after first racking the wine is stored in steel vats until it is bottled.
