Vinification
After crushing, the juice was drained immediately but with some vineyard portions receiving up to two hours of skin contact to ensure that the colour remained the precise salmon-pink hue desired and the palate retained the freshness of summer fruit. Wines were fermented cold at around 14°C, ensuring that they retained a delicate and fresh bouquet.
