Vinification

Hand-picked grapes only, in little boxes of up to 30 kg with a very short transport time. The whole bunches are pressed in a pneumatic press. The grape juice is then cold-settled before filling oak barrels by gravity within 24 hours. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place entirely in oak barrels, naturally using indigenous yeasts. Aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, no new barrels with regular stirring of the lees.
