Select ripe Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and harvest them, ensuring they are free of pests and rot.

Harvesting Grapes

Crush the harvested grapes and remove stems to allow for fermentation. Transfer the crushed grapes to a fermentation vessel.

Crushing and Destemming

Add yeast to the crushed grapes and mix well. Allow the mixture to ferment for about 7-14 days, stirring daily.

Fermentation

Once fermentation is complete, press the mixture to separate the wine from the skins and seeds. Collect the free-run wine.

Pressing

Add malolactic bacteria to the wine and let it undergo malolactic fermentation for 4-6 weeks. This will soften the wine's acidity.

Malolactic Fermentation

Transfer the wine to oak barrels or add oak chips for aging. Allow the wine to age for 6 months to 2 years, depending on the desired flavor.

Aging

Once aging is complete, add sulfur dioxide to stabilize the wine and then bottle it. Seal the bottles and store them in a cool, dark place.
