Vinification
After the final selection of the bunches and the destemming of the fresh grapes, a pre-fermentative cold maceration was carried out for 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation took place with selected yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae, at controlled temperatures between 24ºC and 25ºC, accompanied by pumping over and debulking over 13 days of skin maceration. This was followed by malolactic decubation and fermentation. The wine aged for eight months in French oak barrels, underwent tartaric stabilization and was bottled. Finally, it remained in refinement in the cellar for 12 months.
