Winemaking:
The optimal time for harvesting grapes is in 3rd decade of October. The berries are meticulously picked from the ridges, gently crushed, and expertly macerated with their skins for 25 days. This careful process allows optimal flavour extraction during alcoholic fermentation, which takes place in premium stainless steel tanks at a precise temperature of 30 °C. The wine is then aged in luxurious French oak barrels for two remarkable years, imparting depth and complexity. Following bottling, it continues to evolve and mature in the bottle for an additional twelve months. With an ageing potential of 8 to 10 years, this wine promises to deliver an exquisite tasting experience that improves with time.
