100% grapes are from 45-year-old vineyards. The vineyard of only 0.4 hectares, was planted in 1976, located near the village of Hagichioi, Taraclia, in the heart of Bugeac area.
Winemaking:
100% selective manual harvest, in 10 kg boxes.
The grapes were initially pre-cooled to 0 ゚C and loaded into the press directly, without de-stemming, for a much more delicate pressing and minimization of the intervention at the stage of must production.
Fermented in stainless steel vessels, at average temperatures of 15 - 17 ゚C with a mix of indigenous and selective yeasts.
8 months 60% of the wine was in stainless steel vats in contact with the fine yeast sediment, with batonnage, and 40% of the wine matured at the same time in second pour French oak barrels, after which the batches were assembled.
In the production of this wine, for the first time for us, we resorted to the use of procedures characteristic of the oxidative winemaking method.
