Vinification
The grapes were pressed as whole clusters and the juice was chilled for 24 hours prior to being racked. It was then fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperature (between 12ºC and 15ºC) for 18 days. The resulting wine was left for two days on lees prior to being racked. The lots were then blended and left on fine lees for 4,5 months, pushed into suspension 3 times to give more volume to the wine. It was then decanted, cold stabilised and filtered before bottling.
