Viticulture: The vineyards are meticulously cared for by hand. The crop is reduced to ensure maximum quality. Organic and biodynamic practises are employed by not using any pesticides, herbicides or chemical spay.

in the cellar : This wine has been naturally fermented and barrel-matured in French oak for 11 months before being bottle-matured for a further year before release.
