Vinification

The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed but not crushed. After sorting, the whole berries ferment in vessels for about 18 days. Following fermentation, the wine is pressed and moved to selected French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing. The blend is created during the first racking (at 6 months), with two more rackings during ageing to assess oak influence before bottling.
