The destemmed grapes are macerated with their skins at an average temperature of 22 ºC. Once the maceration process has completed, the wine remains in contact with the grape skins for a further 7 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in medium-toast American oak.
The wine is aged in American and French oak barrels for 12 months, with racking taking place every 4 months. The stabilised wine is then bottled where it continues to evolve.
