Winemaking:
Hand-harvested Karasakız grapes were destemmed and fermented in a stainless steel tank with a 2 ton capacity. Total maceration time was 11 days.
Upon the completion of the malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked into clay amphoras of 500-liter capacity where it was aged for 7 months. The wine was bottled after a light filtration on the 30th of August and spent another 6 months in bottle in the underground caves of the Vinolus Winery.
