Vintage:
The 2007 season was extraordinary in many ways, it was the warmest, certainly the earliest and without doubt, one of the best for fruit quality. We experience unusual warm temperatures in February, followed by cool temperatures in March, which was ideal for flavour development. The summer was long and extremely hot during the whole harvest season. Zilavka is typical Macedonian grape variety. It is a wine characterized with excellent quality. Zilavka harvest took place in the middle of October. The fruit is hand harvested at optimum flavour ripeness.
Winemaking:
- Chilling the grapes
- The fruit is crushed and pressed while preserving the temperature below 12°C
- Must clarification
- Fermentation with controlled temperature and aeration followed by processes for fining and stabilizing the wine
