Winemaking
The freshly harvested grapes are delicately pressed then left to ferment at a temperature of 26°C. After 5-6 days, the wine is separated from the pomace and the fermentation is then completed at lower temperatures to bring out the fruity character of these grapes. The malolactic fermentation to follow.
