Vinification
Grapes are hand harvested in full ripeness and are manually selected before crushing. The tanks are feed by gravity. Small scale process (4 to 5 tons by day), with minimal handling. Grapes are fermented in small stainless steel vats (2 to 5 tons), the fermentation is done with native yeast only, with soft pumping over and a long maceration of 25 days before pressing. After pressing the wine is racked to French barrels, 50% three years old, and 50% four years old where the malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is aged in barrel for 10 months. Wine is racked every four month and is not treated with fining agents.
