in the vineyard : Viticulture: The grapes came from a single vineyard with a yield of less than 10 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: Fruit was picked at optimum maturity.

in the cellar : Grapes were fermented dry on the skins at 26° C. Thereafter the free run portion went into new 225 litre oak barrels. Full malolactic fermentation was allowed in barrel. Then the wine as racked and after SO2 adjustments, it was returned to the same barrels (70% from French and 30% from American origin) for 12 months.
