Winemaking

Grapes are hand-picked in mid September and soft-pressed right after. After destemming and soft-pressing, the must is let to sit on the skins for 10 hours at 8°C. The coppery juice is then left to settle for approximately 24-48 hours. The clear must alcoholic fermentation occurs at low temperatures (15°C-17°C) and goes on for 15 days. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks. Right after fermentation, the wine sits on fine lees, which are frequently stirred for 3 months.

Food Pairing

Fish starters, fish dishes, shellfish and poultry.
