Fermentation temperature was kept at 15ºC. To obtain the desired sugar level (25 gr) the wine was given a filtration to filter out the yeast and thus stopping fermentation. After completion of fermentation the wine was pumped to clean tanks and given a bentonite fining to protein stabilize it. The wine was then filtered and made tartrate stable by cooling it down to - 2ºC. It was then bottled. After bottling the wine was kept at a constant temperature of 15ºC.
