The grapes are hand-harvested and placed in 15-kilo crates. Once at the winery, they are sorted and 50% are destemmed while 50% are kept as whole clusters. The grapes are then placed in vats for a maceration period of 25 to 30 days. 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 barrels (70% new oak) for 12 months.
No fining or filtration.
