HOW IS IT MADE – By getting it into the winery quickly, removing the stems from the bunches and macerating for 10 days. We then punch down the skins into the must, encouraging the interaction with the skins and fermenting juices. One third is fermented and aged in barrel during malolactic and then on lees for 6 months. After it is racked and bottled
