WINEMAKING:
Crushing-destemming is followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation using indigenous yeasts. It is left in contact with the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature before dry racking and cold decantation, with transfer to stainless steel tanks. It is stabilized with cold temperatures in order to avoid the use of clarifying products at the end of the process. Stainless steel filter housing with 0.45 micron cartridges.

MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION:
Carried out entirely in stainless steel immediately after alcoholic fermentation.

AGING:
In stainless steel tanks for six months until bottling. Then, bottle rest at a constant temperature of 14° C (57° F) for one month before release.

TASTING NOTES:
The Casaret has a notable freshness that comes from its aging, which takes place entirely in stainless steel and then in tanks for just six months. Easy to drink with a full meal, but also perfect with appetizers, this wine can even be drunk at a relatively low temperature for reds, around 13-15° C (55-59° F).
