in the cellar : The grapes were sorted, de-stemmed and gently crushed. Cold maceration took place at 10-12ºC for 4 hours, prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Daily pump-overs were conducted for optimum extraction of colour and flavour. Wines from chosen tanks were blended and matured for 6 months, fined and bottled sterile.
