in the cellar : Grapes were destemmed and crushed where after 15% of juice was extracted for RosÃ©. After a tartaric acid addition grapes were cooled down overnight before alcoholic fermentation was initiated. Automatic pump-over of juice to extract maximum colour, flavour and soft tannins was done. Malolactic fermentation and a 4-month French oak maturation before bottling rounded off the process.
