Winemaking Process

The grapes are harvested at night and transported to the winery close to dawn. At the winery the grapes undergo destemming and gentle crushing. Alcoholic fermentation begins at a temperature of 25°C, in order to preserve the grape aroma and create a well-balanced body for a wine that is enjoyable while young. The fermentation process lasts 5-7 days before being pressed and continues to the malolactic fermentation. The wine continues to age a little longer in the tanks with some oak contact, after which the blend is selected and bottled.

Tasting Notes

Similar to other wines in the Prestige series, this wine is also designed for drinking young. It exhibits aromas of red fruit like cherries and blueberries with a little spice. The palate is well balanced, soft and velvety, with a moderately fruity finish that leaves you wanting more. It is best for drinking now after slight chilling. With proper storage conditions, the wine will continue to age well for a short period of two to three years.
