Winemaking
The grapes are harvested manually and transported by refrigerated trucks to the winery. There the stems will remain in contact with the must for cold extraction at 5°C for twelve hours. The stems are then removed as the fruity aromas and the barely needed colour are extracted. Fermentation takes place with a gradual increase in temperature, so that the rosé wine acquires aromatic complexity. After fermentation, the wine will remain in contact with the fine lees to give it a velvety texture and a rounder mouthfeel.
