Vineyard:
Trellised, 6 to 7-year-old vines planted on east-facing slopes yielded the grapes for this wine. The vineyards received supplementary drip irrigation and produced 8 tons per hectare.
about the harvest: Grapes grown in selected vineyard blocks were picked at 25.7° Balling.
in the cellar : Cold soaking for 2 to 3 days at a temperature of 13° - 14°C ensured optimum extraction of colour and fruit flavours. Following fermentation, wines from specific tanks were selected to undergo malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. The wine matured in a combination of French- and American oak; only the finest wine was selected for blending and bottling.
