For this wine, the grapes harvest occurred all along the month
of September, when the red grapes reach generally their best maturation
point in the region. When the grapes were unloaded in the vinification
center, they were immediately crushed. Then, this must entered
into an alcoholic fermentation process in stainless steel vats
under a controlled temperature of 25ºC.
During the first 6 to 10 days of fermentation, the must was also
in contact with the grape skins to extract colour, aromas and
flavours.
Afterwards, the malolactic fermentation process occurred. Finally,
the wine reposed and matured its final characteristics for 6 to
12 months in stainless vats before bottling.
