Winemaking

The Cabernet Sauvignon was hand harvested when the grapes had perfect balance and phenolic ripeness. We started by doing a 5-7 day cold soak, after which the grapes were warmed up the fruit for alcoholic fermentation. Once alcoholic fermentation was completed and the tannin structure just right, we gently pressed off of the skins and pumped to a settling tank. After settling, the wine was put into specially selected French Oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging where it was careful monitoring for 20 months. A light filtration carried out before bottling.
