Vinification
We harvest by hand and run two grape selections, one in the vine and after in winery. The grapes are cooled to 5º and have thus a cold maceration for a week, what allows obtaining aromas in liquid phase. Alcoholic fermentation starts with indigenous yeasts at 15ºC and malolactic fermentation in run at a cellar temperature of 20ºC.
