During fermentation, the temperature was regulated at 25 – 28 °Celsius and the cap soaked with pump-overs every two to three hours. When dry, the wine was left on the skins for another three days before racking and light pressing. After malolactic fermentation started, a portion of the wine was transferred to older 300-litre French oak barrels where it was left to mature for 12 months. The other portion was tank matured with French oak staves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(136, 126, 110);\"\u003eFOOD PAIRING \u0026amp; SERVING SUGGESTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal match for red meats, pizza’s and pastas.
