Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this Merlot were harvested at optimal maturity. After destemming, the grapes were lightly crushed and fermented in fermentation tanks with a capacity of 10 tons at a constant 27°C. After the fermentation was completed, the wine matured for 16 months in second and third barrels of 300 litres. A great balanced and concentrated wine.
