in the cellar : The hand harvested grapes are crushed, destalked and pumped into a classic open concrete fermenter. Here manual pumpovers and plungedowns are done on a regular, continious basis. Fermentation is initiated and at the critical stage fortification with grape spirits is done. The fortified wine is matured in old French barrels prior to being bottled.
