Wine Description
The Story
The grapes were picked a week earlier than normal and brought to the cellar for destemming, sorting and fermentation in open top fermenters.
The cap was punched every 2 hours for 60 hours until the right extraction was achieved. After pressing, malolactic fermentation was done in 19 French oak barrels and 2 American oak barrels. The wine matured for 20 months in oak.
