Winemaking Notes
Handpicked in late March, at optimal ripeness, Grenache’s potential relies on careful vineyard management and meticulous flavor assessment at the time of harvest. The fruit was destemmed and transferred into a stainless steel tank where it was kept cool until fermentation started naturally. A 4-5 week maceration allowed for maximum color and the tannins to soften. The wine was aged in concrete tanks for 12 months.
