Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at 26 ºC for approximately 13 days. Afterwards, the wine begins its aging in 225-liter French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation also occurs, and remains for a minimum of 12 months, completing its refinement with an additional 6 months in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1445\" data-end=\"1448\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1450\" data-end=\"1473\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1471\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1780\"\u003eIntense, deep red color.
