Grown in small plots, the selected grapes are handpicked into boxes and arrive at the wine cellar in the morning. After 3 days of pre-fermenting maceration, alcoholic fermentation occurs in stainless steel open vats at 24ºC. The musts are hydraulically pressed and the malolactic fermentation takes place in new or one year old French oak barrels, where it ages during 14 months.
