Vinification
Handpicked into crates at optimal ripeness. The grapes are double sorted after destemming. The Grenaches grapes are partially vinified using carbonic maceration (full berries). The other part undergoes pre-fermentation cold maceration, prior to alcoholic fermentation, for 4 to 5 days, at temperatures of between 4 and 9ºC, in order to extract the precursory aromas, tannins and anthocyanins. Warm post-fermentation final maceration then takes place, to enhance the wine’s colour and polyphenolic structure.
