Vinification
Following a manual harvest in small crates, the grapes undergo complete destemming and crushing before spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Half of the wine is aged for nine months on the lees in stainless steel tanks, while the other half matures for the same duration in large French oak foudres. The wine is then bottled directly from the tank without any fining or filtration.
