Winemaking The grapes were manually selected prior to destemming and were deposited uncrushed into stainless steel tanks for a 7-day pre-fermentation and cold maceration at 46ºF for better extraction of color and aromas. The alcoholic fermentation took place with native yeasts at 77º–79ºC with 2 short pump-overs per day to extract only the most elegant tannins and obtain a fruitier, friendlier wine. The new wine then underwent malolactic fermentation naturally in French oak barrels and fouders. 27% of the wine spent 9 months in French oak foudres and 20% in previously used French oak barrels. The remaining 53% was kept in stainless steel tanks and cement eggs to contribute fruitiness and complexity to the final blend.
