WINEMAKING
The grapes are strictly hand-harvested to remain intact and are transferred to the winery in a refrigerated truck to retain their freshness. The grapes are cold-soaked for 12 hours at 5°C so that the extraction of the fruity aromas and gentle color can take place. The alcoholic fermentation starts at low temperature, which is gradually increased, giving the rose wine complexity of aromas. The wine will remain in contact with its fine lees for two months in order to achieve velvety texture and a round palate.
