Production method

After manual harvesting, the juice undergoes slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of about 24° C for a period of 20 days, then the skins continue the maceration into the wine for up to 50 days. After vinification, the wine obtained is placed in wooden barrels with a capacity of 500 liters called Tonneaux for 18 months for his maturation. The wine is also aged in the bottle for another 12 months before release for consumption.
