The grapes are hand-harvested and placed in 15-kilo crates. Once at the winery, they are sorted and 100% destemmed. The grapes are then placed in vats for a 25-day maceration. Indigenous yeasts are used; before fermentation, one pump-over is done per day, and once fermentation begins, one punch-down per day. After fermentation, the wine is aged in 400-liter barrels (50% new – 50% one-wine) for 14 months.
No fining or filtration.
