Winemaking:
Following destalking and pressing, the must was gradually warmed to 25°C over 3-6 hours to jumpstart the fermentation process which took place over 8-10 days at the same controlled temperature in horizontal stainless-steel tanks called rotofermenters. The wine was left in contact with the skins for an additional 8-10 days for maximum color extraction.
