Harvesting and Fermenting

Transfer the wine to oak barrels for aging. This process can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to develop the desired complexity of flavors.

Aging

Once aged, blend the wine with ripe plum and black olive notes by infusing dried plums and black olives into the wine for a few weeks.
