Vinification and Refinement

Old traditional vinification method: completely mature grapes are harvested from vineyards and crushed almost immediately. Afterwards, the grapes are poured into large tanks for primary fermentation at a controlled temperature of 73-75 degrees Fahrenheit until the desired sugar is extracted. When the primary fermentation is perfect, the wine is filtered and stored at a constant temperature in large oak barrels for 24 months. It completes its refinement in dark bottles for a minimum period of 3 months.
