VINIFICATION: The grapes are machine harvested and hand picked in proportions determined by vintage conditions. They are then crushed and destemmed. The maceration and fermentation process are characterised by repeated gentle punch-downs resulting in a better extraction of colour and tannins without extracting unwanted vegetal aromas. During the whole process, the integrity of the grape skins is highly important. After the pressing process, the wine is then aged in 25 and 50hl tanks.
