Harvest: Hand harvested

Yield: 20 hl/ha

Winemaking: Each variety and parcel were harvested and pressed separately. The juice undergoes 1 day of cold settling, then is racked off the gross lees straight into barrels. Fermentation begins naturally using only indigenous yeasts and is carried out entirely in 4 to 6-year-old 228L French oak barrels. Stirring of the fine lees begins near the end of alcoholic fermentation and the wine completes malolactic fermentation. In December the components were blended, and a low dose of sulfur added.

Maturation: Aged 4 months in 4 to 6-year-old 228L French oak barrels, and 5 months in stainless steel tanks. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
