Ingredients
Method
Winemaking Process
- 1
Harvesting the Grapes
Carefully hand-pick the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grapes during the peak ripeness season.
- 2
Crushing and Destemming
Gently crush and destem the grapes to extract the juice while avoiding excessive crushing of the seeds.
- 3
Fermentation
Transfer the grape juice into a fermentation vessel. Add the malolactic bacteria and sulfites. Allow the mixture to ferment for about 10-14 days at a controlled temperature.
- 4
Pressing the Wine
Once fermentation is complete, press the wine to separate the liquid from the solids.
- 5
Aging in Oak Barrels
Transfer the pressed wine into French oak barrels for aging. Allow it to mature for at least 18 months, monitoring the flavor development.
- 6
Bottling
After aging, carefully transfer the wine to bottles, ensuring minimal exposure to oxygen.
- 7
Labeling and Storage
Label the bottles and store them in a cool, dark place to allow the wine to further develop its flavors for at least another year.
