September-October 2001
After crushing and destemming, the grape macerates for 6 days and fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks with several rackings per day. After malolactic fermentation the coupage is made and then the wine is decanted and taken to American oak barrels, where it will age for 6 months. Finally, the wine will be filtered before being bottled and will age in the bottle for 18 months.
