Winemaking:
The grapes are harvested by hand, in 20kg boxes, at their ideal maturation point, leading to higher aromatic and polyphenolic concentrations. After gentle crushing and total destemming, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats, thus allowing the quality constituents of the skins to pass into the wine. Aged for 16 months in 2nd year 400L French oak barrels and 6 months in the bottle.
