The grapes were picked and then underwent a 6 day cold maceration period before being inoculated for fermentation. The cap was plunged 3 times daily during fermentation. A further 3-6 days of skin contact followed the fermentation period before the wine was drained to oak barrels for an immediate malolactic fermentation and ageing.
