Wine making<\/h2>

Macerating on solids and fermentation take 8 – 12 days in fermentation tanks with a controlled temperature of 24 – 28 degrees Celsius. During the vinification process, it is combined with one part selection yeasts and autochthonous yeasts, which gives the wine the highest possible concentration of terroir of Plavac. The first two days the D\u00e9lestage<\/i> is done (the process of draining the juice from the must that is again returned by soaking onto the solids) for better extraction of colour, aroma and oxygenation (irradiation) which softens the tannins abundant in Plavac, while stirring the solids 4 times a day until the end of fermentation.<\/p>

Malolactic fermentation<\/h2>

Part of the wine goes through malolactic fermentation in inox barrels with the inoculation of Lactobacillus plantarum<\/i>, and partly spontaneously.<\/p>

Maturation<\/h2>

After fermentation ends, the wine rests in inox barrels for 100 days. After that 80% of the wine rests in large 500L oak barrels (combination of Hungarian and French oak) for 10 – 12 months and 20% rests in inox tanks. After removal from wooden barrels the wine rests for an additional 8 months in inox tanks and 4 – 6 months in bottles after bottling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
