WINEMAKING NOTES:  The grapes were picked by hand the 2nd week of April and then taken to the winery where they were destemmed and placed in stainless steel tanks for a cold maceration of 4 to 5 days. The alcoholic fermentation took place between 25ºC and 26ºC during 8 to 12 days using soft extraction. Once completed, the wine underwent a post-fermentative maceration of one or two weeks. It was then placed in French oak barrels for aging, where it also made the malolactic fermentation.
