The grapes were hand-picked and sorted manually as soon as they arrived at the winery. They were then pressed in a pneumatic press which allows for perfect extraction of the juices without over pressing the grapes. Vinification and ageing took place in wooden barrels with a proportion of 30% new oak. The wine is aged on the lees for 15 months with stirring, then aged in vat for 2 months. The wine was racked by gravity and then assembled in stainless steel tanks.
