about the harvest: The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning hours to ensurethe grapes come in cold into the cellar.

in the cellar : Skin contact was done for up to 6 hours on selective blocks only. This technique, along with picking the grapes at different ripeness levels, contributes to the complexity of the aromas. The juice was inoculated with selected yeast strains and fermented in concrete and stainless steel tanks. Temperature was controlled between 13–15 ̊C during alcoholic fermentation. After fermentation the wine was racked off its primary lees and clarifier followed by a light filtration of the wine before bottling.
