in the cellar : After harvesting the grapes were soaked for 2 - 3 days at 13 - 14°C. Following fermentation in stainless steel tanks, chosen wines underwent malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. The wine matured in a combination of French- and American oak, with only the finest barrels chosen for blending and bottling.
