Vinification

-red wines - traditional vinification
The grapes are pressed then directed towards the tanks, then cooled. The pre-fermentative maceration lasts 3 to 4 days. The temperature gradually goes up to 28 °c for alcoholic fermentation.
During wine makings we re-assemble with or without ventilation.
When the extraction is considered to be sufficient we drain the tanks.
-White wines
Pellicular maceration from fro 6 to 12 hours, then the grapes are pressed and alcoholic fermentation at low temperature will follow.
