HARVEST
Careful manual harvest in late August and early September.

VINIFICATION:
Each varietal is vinified separately. After a delicate de-stemming, the grapes are not pressed, but left to macerate on their skins for approximately 24 hours at 10°C to increase extraction of the delicate aromas.

The grapes are then gently pressed and approximately 60% of the clarified must is placed in stainless steel fermentation tanks. Fermentation is carried out using selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 16°C and lasts approximately 10 days.

The remaining 40% is placed in new French barriques along with selected yeasts, for barrel fermentation. It will then remain in the barriques for an extra 5 months on its lees to extract maximum aromas.

AGEING:
40% in new French barriques for 5 months.
