WINEMAKING

Both varietals are vinified separately with a maceration between 8-18 days. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled locations. For the first 12-14 months, the varieties age separately in French oak barriques, then they are blended and aged for 8-10 months. Bottle ageing follows for an additional 6 months. Unfiltered.
