in the cellar : Extensive bunch sorting of the grapes formed part of the quality management process. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented at 17° C for 10 days. Maturation took place in 225 liter French barrels for 10 months. Natural clarification occurred due to time in the barrel, hence no pre-bottling filtration was needed.
