Lapostolle Grand Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

All the grapes were hand harvested in small cases of 14 kilos and carefully transported to the winery. We obtained clean and pure fruit with strict quality control thanks to the state of the art technology: our Vistalys optical berries selection. 5% of the clusters were hand de stemmed. Then all the grapes were gently macerated with a gentle extraction, obtaining elegant structure, expressive aromas and very good color. Fermentation lasted about 2 weeks in stainless steel tanks at 24-28°C. After a maximum of 4 weeks of maceration, 60% of the wine was aged in 225 lt. French oak barrels (second, third and fourth use) for 6 months while the remaining 40% was aged in stainless steel tanks. 14.5% ABV
