Grapes were hand picked and sorted at their arrival at the winery. They were then totaly destemmed and placed in vat for 4 to 6 days cold maceration (with temperature maintened at 8-10°C. / 46-50°F.). Then came 12 days of fermentation in tank, with pumping over and punching the  cap twice a day. The wine is then placed in oak barrels (30% new oak) to age for several months on fine lees.
