in the cellar : Climate:
High summer temperatures, summer rainfall area
Viticulture:
Mostly old vines- the area stretches across 300 km. Hot long summers contribute to resultant high sugars.
Vinification:
The grapes were harvested at a ripeness of 23,5 °B and fermented at 14,5 °C for 21 days. Skin contact was allowed for one hour, after which the skins and juice was separated. They underwent maceration for two weeks. French oak was used after the fermentation period, and tasted weekly until the right wood maturity was reached. Wine was bottle matured for one year before its release.
