They are placed in stainless steel tanks for cold maceration for 5 to 6 days. Temperature is carefully raised to start fermentation at 24ºC and 28ºC in order to keep varietal aromas. During the initial fermentation, a daily pump over is done and when fermentation is finished part of the wine is left in post fermenting maceration for 2 to 3 weeks; it is then separated from the skins and pressed. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels (10% American and 90% French), where the wine stays for about 16 months. Finally a soft clarification and a cold stabilization when necessary are done.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 14pt;\" style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 11pt;\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003eThe strength of this wines tannins combine with the force of its acidity, propelling its red fruit forward with impressive clarity.
