Winemaking:

After receiving the grapes, they are de-stemmed and crushed. The wine masses are channeled into small fermentation vats equipped with a refrigeration system. Maceration enzymes are then added to them, which will ensure that the coloring matter and tannins are extracted as much as possible from the must. Then, the selected yeasts are added, and alcoholic fermentation begins. During this period, which varies between 4 and 8 days, the blanket is watered several times a day.

Pumping over is programmed depending on the stage of maturation of the grapes and the type of wine to be obtained.

The entire fermentation process takes place at a temperature between 25º and 28ºC.
