VINIFICATION
PROCESS

The grape is harvested by hand, in the first week of September. The grapes are selected with the greatest of care from the vine and the collection of the must is carried out with gentle pressure. The must is decanted at a low temperature for a few hours and the vinification commences at between 16 -19° C. The wine is then decanted and is left to rest in the lees for approximately two months.
