Fresh grapes and at their ideal ripening point, picked by hand for 20kg boxes. After desengace and gentle crushing, the grapes were placed in stainless steel vat, pelicular macerated for five days. These fermented for five days, with three "delestage" daily, being in macerated after-waiting for another three days. Hence resulted in a wine of excellent extract.
