This was followed by 2 hours skin contact to extract maksimum fruit flavours and a gentle pressing. The juice was settled overnight and racked to the fermentation tanks. Specific yeast was selected for each fermentation batch to ensure maximum flavour development. Fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks at 13 to 14°C to preserve freshness and fruit flavours. No malolactic fermentation was allowed to ensure optmimum freshness and fruit.
