Vinification
15% fermented with the skins with wild yeast. The rest of the grapes are fermented with whole cluster on a vertical press, natural clarification to then begin a fermentation with wild yeasts between 15 and 18 degrees. One third of the fermentation goes into used oak barrels to finish its fermentation and remain there for 10 months. Stirring of lees is done to gain structure on the wine. Natural decanting takes place before bottling.
