in the cellar : Skin contact for up to 6 hours was done on selective blocks only. Juice was inoculated with selected yeast strains and fermented in concrete and steel tanks. Temperature was controlled between 13 - 15 degrees Celsius during alcoholic fermentation. After fermentation the wine was racked off its primary lees and clarified by means of using a combination of bentonite and a plant durative protein to facilitate the settling of grape solids in the wine. A light filtration of this wine was done before being bottled.
