Wine Production
The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes pass through the crusher-destemmer and ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. A period of maceration occurs at warmer temperatures in order to achieve a deeper color and softer tannins. After a gentle pressing, the wine is then transferred into stainless steel tanks where it undergoes full malolactic fermentation. Part of this wine is oak-aged before bottling.
