Viticulture

all the fruit is hand-harvested. Organic compost and mulch are ploughed back into the soil.

Vinification

Whole grape bunches are hand-sorted on sorting tables. The grapes are destemmed and gently crushed, then fermented in French oak barrels for 10–15 days. The Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon components are kept and aged in separate barrels before being blended.
