vinification and ageingThe stems are separated from the grapes, which are softly pressed in cylinders under pressure gently breaking their skins and realeasing the juice. The juice is left to macerate on the skins for about a week in rotating temperature controlled stainless steel vinifiers at a temperature of about 28-30° C. After the alcoholic fermentation is over, the wine undurgoes also the maloactic fermentation, a process that lowers total acidity and makes wines seem rounder and fuller in flavour. The wine is then placed to age in large Slavonian Oak casks.
