Viticulture
Trellised vines aged 9 - 13 years yielded the grapes for this wine. The vineyards received supplementary drip irrigation and produced 8 - 10 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand-harvested at optimum ripeness (±26ºB) in 8 kg lug-boxes.

in the cellar : Grapes were de-stemmed at the cellar. Hand-sorting of berries ensured optimal fruit selection. Fermentation took place in open vats and stainless steel tanks. A two-day cold maceration enabled maximum colour and flavour extraction, after which the wine was slowly fermented at 24ºC. Malolactic fermentation took place in 300 litre second-fill French and American oak barrels for 12 - 14 months.
