The first stage of reception included a selection system via a conveyor belt to remove any leaves and damaged bunches, etc.
The bunches were then transported by another conveyor belt to a machine to be destemmed and selected by size before passing on to a vibrating table to ensure that only perfect grapes were selected.
The individual grapes were then dropped into the fermentation tanks where they underwent a 5-day pre-fermentation cold maceration at 8 C. Alcoholic fermentation took place solely with native yeasts in stainless steel at temperatures that varied between 24 and 26 C with a program of pumpovers or WINE OF CHILE punchdowns in accordance with enological criteria, followed by a post-fermentation maceration.
Total maceration time was 20 days. Malolactic fermentation took place naturally in barrels and ovoid tanks. The new wine was aged for 13 months and finally stabilized naturally, without treatments. It was lightly filtered with a 3-5-micron filter prior to bottling.
- Very interesting with meatand mushroom-based dishes, such as hamburgers with Gruyere cheese, ribs with red wine sauce, roast chicken with figs. It also pairs well with vegetarian fare such as tofu fried with sesame and ginger or roasted vegetable tar.
