After being destemmed and crushed the berries fall into the fermentation vats.
All the vats are stainless steel and temperature-controlled, thus allowing us to continually monitor and adjust the temperature during fermentation.
For the vinification of the red wines, the vats are equipped with mechanical "pigeage" for punching down the cap and permitting a more favourable extraction of colour, tannins and flavour components from the skins.
The pressing of the whites and the rosés is done with a pneumatic membrane press. |
