Vinification:
The grapes were destemmed and crushed into a tank, where they underwent alcoholic fermentation at 26–28ºC, with careful handling to prevent over-extraction and obtain a more elegant, friendly, and balanced wine, finishing with a post maceration fermentation for approximately 6 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally and was completed in French oak barrels, where most of the wine was aged, then all of the wine was lightly filtered and bottled. Oak: 61% of the wine was aged for 10 months in second used French oak barrels, while the remaining 39% was aged in concrete eggs and stainless steel tank for a fresher, fruitier final blend.
